Oh my gosh it was great. To see the looks on their faces after I talked to them about mills and showed images of what goes on there they were horrified. I also drew on the board a diagram showing how quickly 2 animals could turn into many animals due to breeding and how that means the offspring will be in homes that animals in shelters needed.
Anyways my class was very open-minded to begin with and they really enjoyed my informative speech on guinea pig care a few weeks ago. They didn't realize how much work
cavies could be. They even refer to them as
cavies now!
At the end I metioned to go to this site and guinealynx before buying a
gp and a lot of people wrote it down. I also said that if anyone needed help finding a place to adopt to let me know.
So yeah I enjoyed it and I think they did too. I am now referred to as the "guinea pig lady."
