Ted the Tort & Friends 

Welcome to Ted the Tort! 🐢 Living life large and giving a voice to giant tortoises nationwide.

I am the founder of the Alliance for Giant Tortoise Welfare (AGTW). We are a grassroots advocacy coalition of keepers and 501(c)(3) rescues pushing for breeder accountability and point-of-sale education to stop the silent winter abandonment crisis for the Sulcata breed.

We stand 100% AGAINST animal bans—our mission is strictly keeper safety and animal protection. Tap the link below to sign our common-sense proposal and join the movement today! 🐢🛡️
