I'm glad you like the other website so much. I feel sorry for the people who have been banned for "pushing" their opinion of cage size, though. Who decides what is "pushing" and what is simply trying to convince others to share in an opinion?
However, there are some things that aren't matters of opinion, but rather matters of fact. Like the guinea pig overpopulation problem. That's a fact. You can take it however you want to, and be part of the problem or part of the solution: that's your choice. You can take the information and try to help, or refuse to accept any responsibility for improving the lives of other animals. But the numbers of pigs in shelters, the conditions of piggy mills, and the number of sick pigs in pet stores, are all facts.
In the same vein, it is an opinion that C&C cages are the best. The facts are the experiences people have with them. Active, playful pigs; cases of boars who get along in larger cages but not smaller; and cleaner, healthier cages (because the pigs have more room to pee and not lie in it) are facts. It's your choice what to do about that. Do you want to give those opportunities to your pigs, or not? Just like it's your choice whether to help an animal in need or buy at your place of employment. Do you want to help animals, or help yourself? Your choice.
(Most of us choose to help animals, so you may feel left out in the cold around here.)  |
