After watching 60 Minutes last night, my eyes were opened to the plight of endangered tortoises around the world, and particularly in Madagascar. Apparently, poachers on the remote island off of the coast of Africa have been hunting these rare animals because their shells can fetch upwards of $60,000 a piece in Asian countries like China, where it is believed that consuming tortoise meat will guarantee longevity for humans.
