A Turtle With A Monkey On His Back
Posted by admin on March 28, 2008 · 7 Comments
In Beijing, a man has a pet tortise with a bad habit. The animal smokes cigarettes and appears to be addicted to nicotine.
The owner of the tortise smokes, and as a joke he put a cigarette butt in his pet's mouth. He was pretty shocked when the turtle smoked it. Now both the man and the tortise are regular smokers. The man says when he smokes the tortise will come up out of the water and beg for a smoke.
As unbelievable as it is, the man had the tortise smoke for reporters and his neighbors to prove that it was happening and the animal finished a cigarette in about 4 minutes in front of them all.
No one has really ever heard of a smoking tortise before, however monkeys have been known to pick up the habit after watching humans smoke cigarettes.
I think this guy should be prosecuted for animal cruelty and punished with the MAXIMUM PENALTY!
Trukindog: I agree, it is complete animal abuse/animal cruelty. Not to mention totally ignorant.
Yeah that was a really smart thing to do. Who gives an animal a cigarette?:crazy:
Very very wierd…why would he let him do it?? Bad man!!
Well, at least it’s not snorting coke like my parakeet. Man, that’s expensive “bird seed”.
That’s weird and unbelievable! it’s fun to see that this animal knows how to smoke but I feel pity for the effect of nicotine in it’s body.
really unbelievable!
