I worked as a records keeper at a zoo for more than 20 years, and one of my duties was keeping track of tortoises brought in by people who could no longer care for them. We were also the meeting place for a turtle and tortoise club, and offered information on their dietary needs. Too many people believed that tortoises only eat lettuce, which resulted in all sorts of health problems, including death from malnutrition.

Sustainable pet food is crucial to the planet's well-being, encompassing green production, biodegradable packaging, and balanced nutrition. A 2022 study found that the carbon footprint of dry pet food could account for 2.9% of annual U.S. carbon dioxide equivalent emissions.
