I believe in spay and nuetering and no babies for any breed. I will preach that until I die. I will fight for the animals until I die. I will keep trying to change minds until I die.

Amen.
I'll leave someone else to explain 4H to the non-US members.
However, a close friend of mine came up with a quick summary of what the 4H animal programs are really about. And we've had these conversations in depth on GL.
But, here's the truth of 4H. It's not 4H.
It's 4B--
Brainwash,
Breed,
Brag and
Butcher.

Sadly the guinea pig clubs and experienced older breeders who frequent so many of the gp boards do nothing but encourage them. Though I suppose the children provide a useful outlet for the established breeders own "substandard" animals?

Exactly. This is a key point on where the theory of that illusive 'responsible breeder' breaks down. I have yet to meet one that doesn't encourage kids to breed. Kids who they don't know. I've seen every single one of the known breeders in ACBA who post publicly do this. Every one. And I've saved off quite a few of the posts they've made over time. There are many.
