A helluva price for a pet...!

Post by hawker »

Seen this report. £925,000 for a pet tortoise! It might be 70 years old but is any pet worth that? Okay you do get a house on the side but... Wow! :roll:

Think the seller is flogging his daughters with the pups!
I thought dogs were about £500 to a grand.

To answer my own question here... People jump into the sea or a raging river to try and rescue their dog from being swept away and drowned so I guess that for some, their pet is worth more than life itself? 'Nuff said? I am not sure that anyone would do that for a tortoise though!! :crazy:
