We are avid supporters of Little RES Q, an Ontario CRA-registered charity who has championed Red Eared Sliders for almost 20 years.
They have officially opened a turtle sanctuary called Audrey’s Legacy. It’s like the ultimate solutions for Ontario’s Red Eared Slider populations – the turtles can live their best lives in a fully-stocked exclusive retirement facility.
Why do Red Eared Sliders need a turtle sanctuary?
They bully the native turtles out of food, spaces to bask, and nesting spots; this is a large part of why Ontario’s native turtle populations are dwindling.
We need to take them out of the population in a humane way – so Little RES Q is building them their own space where they can live their best lives without devastating the endemic turtle populations of Ontario.
Stand up for all of Ontario’s turtles and support this charity with me and Turkey by donating today: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/Littleresq/
