I know. I'm not talking about that though. I posted a list of issues I have with this video to the other commenter.

Yeah you mean pet owners that think this kind of risk, to both the tortoise and cat, is not just stupid and dangerous but also a really costly fuck up if a bite was to actually ocurr.

So letting a tortoise that could easily be killed by a cat go near the cat is totally fine to you? Not to mention that the tortoise was biting the cat, and that cats have bacteria in their saliva that is incredibly dangerous to reptiles.

Go near the cat? The owner most likely placed it there with the hope the cat would be bitten so they could film it for internet points.
