| Re: New piggies are fun
I totally disagree.
"I like to get them from pet shops that breed their own."
Are you implying that getting one from a pet shop, who, in turn, gets theirs from a breeder that is just concerned about money is better than saving some cavies' lives that really need a home?
"I don't know how old those are, they might die right when I adopt them,and they might have been treated real bad."
Why would the die right when you adopt them? Many at the shelters are just pups. They may have been treated badly, but is that justification for you to just forget about them?
"The owners that left them there must not have cared for them or loved them that much, or they wouldn't have left them there."
Some just dump, correct. However, they did care enough to bring them to the shelter in order for their pets to seek out better lives, rather than simply selling them. Also on the contrary, some owners are moving, have allergies, etc. and care very much about their pets, but they just cannot keep them.
I don't see how buying from a store is justified at all. |
