No, it was all a bit grim. We didn't laugh really either. The poor thing was obviously in great pain and was dying slowly, so we cut its head off with a kitchen knife, which was tricky cos it kept trying to retract its head. Like I say, grim, but at least I got some early mental preparation for future viewings of internet beheadings.
My Dad ran over our tortoise with a lawnmower - sliced the top of the shell off. Oh how we laughed. It was like that turtle scene in Cannibal Holocaust
Info: This tortoise lives in 'Settler's Park' - a large green belt in the city centre of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It visits this house (in the video) on the park's border.
