| Re: I got a new guinea pig! Yes I have changed my mind after researching a little more, after I thought of my post. I just wish I could cancle a friend of mines idea of "guinea pig rescue". She is breeding and they are sick! I bought mine two weeks ago, and they have flakey skin, very curvey toenails. It discusts me but I am not going to turn away a rescued pig for anything! They are getting the vet care they need now, and are not packed into pet store cages having babies! I realize that It was pretty much stupidity with my last post, I just feel all animals are equal, and they all deserve chances, as sick people do. No person is turned down from being made (bred) by parents, but theres millions of kids in adoption agencies. I can see its pretty much the same deal. Animals are like my kids, since I have none and plan on having none. I will also be doing more pig rescues once I expand my cage, and get my girls ready for a new "pig member". I am glad there are people out here who do care. I truely am. I just also wish people would give every animal, pet store or not, a chance. I watched people dump off 4 baby pigs and their parents. They said they did it out of good heart when a breeder sold them the parents (yes the breeder happened to be the friend of mine!) and then she let me "foster" two of her pigs, come to find out, 5 weeks later three little babies pop out! She is awful and needs alot of hate mail for breeding. |
