Friday nights, too, Other PM. And holidays.
Jackrungh, I think your idea, while good in theory, is too simplistic in nature and fails to consider how expensive it is to properly maintain a guinea pig. Most rescues can't afford to undercut a breeder's fee, so doing adoptions from a rescue out of a store as part of the store's revenue would probably cost both store and rescue much more than any benefit they receive.
That's why I think the main goal should be to totally remove small animals from stores, period. If people want to adopt, they should have no other choice than to turn to a rescue or shelter because animals just aren't available in pet stores. That's the goal I'm working towards - no animals in pet stores at all.
Once that goal has been achieved, then it might be feasible to start bringing adoptions into the store.
Also, if you don't want people to become irritated with you (or inflammatory, whatever) then I'd steer clear of using the terms "moron" and "moronic" to describe any animal rights activist or activist organization.
