Re: Why can't breeders breed and rescue? | |
Breeding defeats the purpose of rescue. Rescuing is taking in unwanted guinea pigs and trying to find them a new home. Breeding is creating more guinea pigs that have a good chance at ending up unwanted.
The only time breeding is ever necessary in my opinion is if a species is about to go extinct. Piggies are no way near going extinct. So instead of creating thousands upon thousands of pigs to further overpopulate the already overpopulated species why not just do rescue only and work on finding homes for the hundreds of thousands of guinea pigs that have already been created (mostly by irresponsible breeders/backyard breeders/piggie mills). Everytime a new pup comes into this world, if someone buys it, it takes away a home that a shelter/rescue pig could have had. |
