YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Four ploughshare tortoises, with shells so precious the species has been poached to existence, were rescued from the hands of smugglers in 2009. It's been a long journey for these animals, from the clutches of ruthless smugglers to a long-awaited debut in the U.K. They were part of a group of 13 tortoises confiscated by Hong Kong customs officials after they were illegally plucked from Madagascar. The tortoises are recognized for their distinctive shells, and are highly coveted in the black market. #InsideEdition
