“After seeing the film and thinking real turtles jump through the air or fly like Ninja turtles, kids ask parents to buy live turtles,” the American Tortoise Rescue said.
General views of a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem' movie billboard on Sunset Blvd on July 14, 2023 in Hollywood, California.
ATR, which is the first national turtle and tortoise rescue, said the best thing parents can do is to purchase action figure toys that actually mimic the ninja movements from the film.
"I like to say putting a turtle in a tank is how we would feel if we had to live in a bathtub all our lives," Tellem explained. "The purchase is often an impulse buy without regard to the fact that turtles can live 25 years or more. Sadly, most of these turtles were abandoned in shelters and rescues or dumped into lakes and waterways after the movie’s young fans found out that the real turtles did not fight crime or perform incredible stunts.
