You didn't like the fact he pointed out the irony that after you did business with an individual you reported them to the authorities for the very thing you did business with them for in the first place.
I'd be willing to bet you left that part out when you spoke with the authorities.

Taking the moral high ground is one thing but doing it after you have joined the offender in the illegal act devalues the idea of doing the right thing.
If you knew someone had stolen some jewelry would you buy a few pieces cheap before turning them in?
It makes me wonder about the possibility that you didn't know the turtle you bought had a problem and after realizing it you decided to retaliate by reporting them.

Regardless though, Glenn is correct in what he says. You choose not to defend your actions because there is no acceptable defense available.
