Aboriginals can eat them IF they are wild caught....after all they have been doing that for a very long time.

I don't care! My ancestors shot aboriginals, but it doesn't mean they still can! Time to move with the times IMO

The RSPCA officer said that the algae on the turtles shell was due to the stagnant water. I have a couple of turtles in clean, filtered, well oxygenated water and yet they have algae, whereas most of the others have no algae.
On the other hand it appeared that not all turtles in the show in those ponds with stagnant water had algae on their shells, therefore I think in this case the RSPCA officer's comments were incorrect. I was surprised too that they needed a vet to test the water and find it was stagnant, it seemed obvious.
On another note, what a better life they could have had if their diet was improved. At least they ended up with knowledgeable carers.

i dont think the tested to see if the water was stagnant, the only test i really know is just to look at it lol
