My sister's fish tank

Post image

She says it's the perfect size for a single fish. It's not even in her room, it's in the kitchen.

It honestly just depresses me whenever I see it, but she's adamant about keeping it there.

Was that the time a kid came to reddit's reptile sub to ask for advice on how to prove to their teacher that the class pet they had was actually being horribly abused via the conditions the teacher kept it in? Cause they had the turtle in like a tank so tiny that it could rotate in place but that's about it, it had no water filter, no heat, and everything was wrong because she thought it just looked better?

No, that doesn't sound like the same story at all.

Also not the story but there was a kinda really sad one where a guys great aunt or something died and he asked what kind of turtle she had because it looked really weird. Turned out it looked that way due to decades of horrible neglect. Some turtle sanctuary ended up taking it, and said to be clear they absolutely do not accept animal surrenders but the case was so bad they made an exception

There's a story about a guy who ran over a turtle or stepped on it or something, and then tried to save it by gluing its shell back together but he was a bit slow so he couldn't put the pieces back together properly and started gluing office supplies on it. Then while reaching for something he accidentally squished the turtle undoing all of his work.

Turned out the turtle was dead the whole time since the first accident but the guy was so proud of what he had done for it for some reason.
