#2Would have been cooler if he received a new 2D shell in my opinion.

#3Aww they missed an opportunity to print a red shell, or a blue one. Wonder how an animal like a tortoise living with others would react to if it had a different colour shell.

I don't think their point was to experiment with reactions on unusual shells.

They painted it.

#6I actually think the right thing would have been to shoot the tortoise right where they found it. These kinds of things are more done for the selfish joy of experimentation then for the actual benefit of the animal.

Do you feel the same way toward humans?

It's Australia mate. They don't have much in the way of gun ownership. Once a group of children were massacred there, see the 1996 Port Author massacre for reference, they collectively decided that gun control was needed. I doubt it would even occur to most Australians to kill anything with a firearm.
Your reaction freaks me out actually.

Would you have felt more comfortable if he had just said "euthanize?" I've never really understood the aversion to particular methods of killing felt by some people. Dead is dead. As long as something doesn't cause undue suffering, does it really make a difference if you shoot, stab, or gas the tortoise?

It's been actually discussed previously here on HN that it's more common for doctors and medical personnel to wear "No code" batches or tattoos.
