Why did the dog kill the tortoise?

Dogs may kill turtles for the following reasons:

1. Dogs have the instinct of hunting and chasing, and are interested in slow-moving objects, including turtles.

2. Dogs have the nature of exploration and play, and may use their mouths to explore things around them, including turtles.

3. When the tortoise is bitten, if the dog bites open the shell of the tortoise, it may make the tortoise fragile and even lead to serious injury and infection.

In order to avoid this situation, if your dog likes to bite turtles, you should let them play indoors or under supervision, and it is best not to let them touch wild turtles or other animals.
