The tortoises can't be reintroduced into the wild because they may had !an adverse affect on the natural behavior and social structure of other desert tortoise populations. So these tortoises have been put up for adoption into good homes. ! Adoption is serious business. A desert tortoise may live over 80 years, Uo adopting one of these diminutive living fossils will likely be a lifelong ! union. Care and feeding of a desert tortoise is easy they don't eat or drink touch and the "mess" is minimal. But human tortoise parents must be j I attentive! These hard cased creatures can move relatively fast when they ' want to and escape is always imminent. Anyone in the state can adopt a tortoise, except residents of Washington, Iron and Kane counties. The tortoise would be too close to native populations, and the risk of spreading diseases is high. For more information on adopting an endangered desert tortoise, call any Utah Division of Wildlife Resources office.

Only then will we make a dent in the problem, he said. Ronnenkamp said the legislators should follow Colorado's example and enact legislation prohibiting minors from carrying handguns. He also bemoans the laws that EVERYiTHING prevent police from sharing potentially critical information about problem students with ECESuC? QflD3S administrators. Kids might hold up a store or burglarize something on Tuesday and they are back in school on Wednesday, and we know nothing about it. He said the whole juvenile justice system should be rethought and revamped in such a way as to protect young people from juvenile gang members.
