The Alliance for Animal Rights (AFAR) supports Care for the Wilds campaign opposing Tescos turtle sales.
We urge our supporters to Boycott Tesco shops here in Ireland.
CWI investigators who visited 32 Chinese Tesco stores in April and May discovered that staff do not adhere to Tesco's new slaughter
policies. In 12 stores where CWI witnessed slaughter firsthand, staff continued to kill turtles by decapitation alone or by evisceration.

The snare had pulled so tight that it had become embedded in the animal’s lower abdomen and across the groin areas. Loose earth in the vicinity demonstrated her struggle for freedom..
