Imagine if you did have to take your tortoise for a walk, you'd still be out.

Oddly when I lived in St Albans somebody had a cat and a dog and the owner took both for a walk at the same time with a collar and lead on both.
I spoke to the owner and he said the cat got upset if he was not walked with the dog.
I supose the cat had the same entitlement to a walk as the dog.

Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.

Sulcata tortoises can grow VERY large and strong enough to push furniture about. And they can walk quite quickly. There is a U tube video of one pushing a settee aside. However you need a special room for them as this species does not hibernate.
Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the blind obedience of fools.
