So for Rossi, we've started the paperwork process, we're waiting on the paperwork process and that has all completely stalled because of this process and this funding all being put on hold.

It is a huge problem, it's very frustrating because obviously animals, species don't understand politics, they don't understand boundaries and borders, they're doing their thing and nothing has really changed in that respect.

It is a huge problem. It's very frustrating because obviously animals, species don't understand politics. They don't understand boundaries and borders. You know, they're doing their thing and nothing has really changed in that respect.

We do have other options, so we have the option possibly of working through Mexico, which is something that we could do in the future and for future turtles, but that would be a shame because we've got these great relationships now with these wonderful sort of whole conservation programmes for the species in Texas and people that we've been working with.

So Rossi will get repatriated, but it's just very frustrating that that process was well underway and now we've had this huge setback and really it's on hold.
