Soary Randrianjafizanaka set out with police, colleagues, and others earlier this month to investigate a rancid smell coming from a two-story house in Toliara, a town on the southwestern coast of Madagascar. She arrived at a scene unlike any she d seen before in her role as a regional head of Madagascar s environmental agency: thousands of tortoises of varying sizes covering the floors, jammed up against one another with no room to move.
Randrianjafizanaka said the stench of feces and urine was overwhelming.
