Couple Coordinate Outfits With Their Tortoise, But Some People Think It’s “Offensive On So Many Levels”

There are quite a few animal superstars on the Internet. Many dogs and cats have humongous fan bases who enjoy their adventures on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube. But one member of the animal kingdom rarely gets to enjoy the rays of the viral sunshine. The tortoise.

However, this can change soon. Kasey Kuchinski, 33, and Daniel Rodriguez, 33, from Sonoma, California, are coordinating their outfits with their pet, Ethel, a 20lb Sulcata tortoise. The trio regularly dress up and pose for photos together for their Instagram account, and their following has been growing steadily. As of this article, it’s standing at 38.6K people.

Not everyone, however, appreciates Kasey and Daniel’s idea. Some people are saying it’s ‘wrong’ and ‘exploiting’ the tortoise.
