'I don’t want to wait until it’s too late': Woman considers secretly re-housing her irresponsible brother-in-law's turtoise, after learning the fate of his gecko, and realizing how his careless behavior is "wearing down" her husband

Some people should not be allowed to have pets…Animals require love, attention, and the right resources, and when their owner provides none of the above, it may be time to start considering another option to enable a better quality of life for neglected animals. 

This 20-year-old boy is going through his 'I don't care about anyone or anything' phase, and unfortunately, his pet tortoise is grouped into the 'anything' category…Whilst living with his brother and wife, his behavior is starting to wear them down, and if they can't get rid of the little brother, they would at least like to get rid of his pets in the house, to give them a future that's brighter than dirty cages and outdated food… 

His sister-in-law weighs out all of her options as she doesn't wish to experience another pet tragedy (R.I.P. Mr. Gecko), thus deciding their secretly re-homing his tortoise might be the only way to teach him a lesson…if he even realises it's missing!
