I work in a pet store and though it’s not majorly messed up i think it’s wild that people can buy a tortoise or any animals for that matter that can and will outlive them and their kids. just assuming their grandkids will take care of them or given to another sanctuary. - Dope_Lunaa

Bleaching/Skin lightening creams. They are extremely dangerous and may cause damage to ones skin that is irreversible. I've known friends who bleached and it looked like parts of their skin had literally been boiled off or they became darker in complexion due to damage. They tend to be sold a lot in countries in Africa and south east Asia. It's quite scary how easy they can also be found in Asian/African beauty stores in the states but are probably sold illegally. - stakedrivers
