I emailed them to ask their resoning about this. I got a rather long lecutre about how wild animals belong in the wild!
I wanted to send off an angry reply with Lois' story, but I restrained myself. Lois came from a local zoo because they had rescued her mom. The mom was illegaly wild caught and smuggled into the country from Brazil and laid a clutch of eggs almost as soon as she left the first vet check! Lois and her siblings lived at the zoo and were part of a traveling teaching program until they out grew their space. The zoo director adopted the babies out and I got lucky enough to get Lois.

I suppose that even though Lois did not come directly from "the wild", having her picture up there would encourage people to buy tortoises from irresponsible breeders with wild caught stock. Still, I'm irked that they just assumed this was me!
