CS, I didn't realize that the rest of the
cavy loving/owning world was wrong about their idea of minimum cage size. So anything less than 7.5 sq ft and the pig will be miserable? unhealthy? So, for all other
cavy sites and
cavy people around the WORLD who have housed
GP's in roomy pet store cages such as the Marchiro don't see happy healthy popcorning pigs??? So if I did a poll of what behavior and longevity other pig owners have experienced they all would say their pigs withered away in something smaller than 7.5 sq ft??
AGAIN, I love your cage idea and have two for my pigs. They are roomy, sturdy, and cheap no doubt, but to take such offense at suggesting that MILLIONS of others are not wrong with housing their pigs in a "smaller" cage is a bit over-dramatic, IMHO.
Sorry that you find my comments about shelters/rescues INADVERTANTLY (possibly by accident) contributing to pet-overpopulation (and yes I agree that MOST people who go to shelters to adopt an animal go there because they are aware of the pet over-population issue) so offensive as well. My comment wasn't aimed at you and your rescue specifically. I am speaking more in generalities. I have heard story after story about hoarders who obtained many of their pets from shelters (not rescues) in addition to "free to good home ads" and so on.
You feel "slapped in the face"?? So do I, every time a lie is spewed about Petco. SOME of the things are true but many are NO LONGER true or were never true. However, after all this, I DO digress. It is "your" soapbox, podium, forum, etc. You can set it up and use it any way you like.
