    That’s cursed, turtles and tortoises shells are a part of their body, with nerve endings and the like, so they cannot come out of their shell.

    Completely by coincidence we had a tortoise in our garage today!

    Gazelle 3: I’m sick of this. We should empower somebody to act, who’s allowed to do that kind of stuff, but only to the bad animals, who aren’t allowed to do the bad stuff.

    Gazelle 4: Who wants to volunteer?

    the herd: …

    Hyena: I’ll do it! I love fucking shit up! I should be allowed to do it, for the sake of the herd!

    Hyenas: Fuck yeah! Let’s go!

    Gazelle 3: Does anyone else want to volunteer?

    Herd: …

    Gazelle 5: I guess I could do it.

    Hyenas: Fuck yeah! Welcome to the pack! Just so you know though, if you try to stop or question our ways, you’ll be gutted as a traitor.

    Gazelle 5: Um… Maybe I don’t want to join, actually.

    Hyenas in uniforms: Give us your fucking shell, tortoise! Civil forfeiture! Fuck yeah! Or we’ll kill you!

    Gazelle 6: Hey! You’re not allowed to do that!

    Gazelle 7: We should set up a group that’s allowed to do things like that, but only to stop those who do things like that.

    Gazelle 6: Any volunteers?

    What else do you expect?

    From childhood everyone gets drilled in their skull that whenever a situation arises they need to call an adult or the authorities and to never handle it themselves.
