New York puppy store admits pet store puppies are often sick?

New York has a ban on the sale of puppies in pet stores going into effect on Dec 15th. The reason for the ban is because most pet store puppies come from puppy mills. But another criticism is that pet store puppies are often sick.

In this article a NY pet store owner says the ban will hurt veterinarian profits. Well. Yes. Ending the sale of often diseased mill puppies does mean fewer trips to the vet. I guess puppy stores want more disease!

Anybody who knows Photoshop here can help me rescue a tortoise that lives in horrible conditions? (URGENT)

Hello everyone, so, I'm trying to report a case of a tortoise in Venezuela that's being kept in a cage with no soil, no water, no food, and under the scorching sun. I discovered it in a house while taking a walk and the owners refused to give it to me.

Unfortunately I left my phone at home as the pockets of my joggers were small and it was uncomfortable, so I couldn't take pictures, instead I made the huge mistake of arguing with these people trying to convince them to give me the tortoise so I can take it to a local reserve that rehabs and releases them, and when I came back with my phone to take a photo they saw me approach and took the tortoise inside so I took a picture of an empty cage.

Today I came back there again and it turns out they put the cage with the tortoise in the backyard (as they told me) so I cannot take any pictures of it.

What's the problem? You might wonder. The problem is I went to the cops to ask for help and they say they can't help me if I don't show them any evidence (animal laws here suck), but all I have is the photo of the empty cage.

So, my goal is to play dirty same as the abusers are doing and Photoshop a tortoise in the cage. Cops aren't that smart here so I'm pretty sure I can convinced them if it looks decent enough. If I show them that evidence they will go there and check the backyard and the tortoise can get rescued.

Can anybody help me?

Here are the photos of the cage https://imgur.com/a/FP5LQZN there is an upside down bowl of water there that can probably be modified to kinda look as a tortoise as the tortoise is just a little bit bigger than that bowl (like 30% bigger). The tortoise MUST be a redfoot tortoise to match the species of the actual tortoise that is put in that cage. From my experience with previous cases I've reported cops barely see the photo, they aren't gonna check it thoroughly, so it just have to look decent enough to fool them at quick glance.

I don't have money to pay a Photoshop expert to do this, so I'm hoping somebody can give me a hand to save this poor tortoise from those horrible people. Would be very grateful if someone can help me!

PD: if you can't help PLEASE upvote this post for visibility. Thank you!
