    That is so sad but I can guess why he died. The life of most animals consists of mating and producing offspring, but George was alone and that purpose of his life was never fulfilled. :( Well that's what I think. Poor tortoise.

    This is so upsetting!
    George was such a great Tortoise, I thought he'd live a lot longer than he did!
    Rest in peace George!

    This makes me very sad. Galapagos turtles are my favourite kind of animal, and that fact that Lonesome George was so closely related, it breaks my heart. *hugs stuffed galapagos turtle*
    Bless, Lonesome George. <3

    Bless his soul. I hope no other creatures have to go through what he had to.

    I heard about this earlier this morning. It really saddened me to hear Lonesome George had passed away, it's a really tragic thing that he's gone. Hopefully we can find a species that shares the Pinta Island Turtles genes, that'd be an incredible thing if they can really find that.

    I saw this on Facebook. George's death makes me sad because of what he represents. At least he nobody can say he didn't live a long, full life.
