Re: Why can't breeders breed and rescue?

Where do breeders' piggies go if they are not up to the breeders' standards? They get sold to anyone who will take them or to pet stores. I got two from pet stores before I became more aware and they both were purchased by the pet stores from breeders. Breeders are trying to perfect their standards for show and that makes for a lot of reject pigs. Look up caviaries with any search engine and you will find that they all have "pet quality" offspring for sale dirt cheap. Does this add to the overpopulation? Duh! This is why you can't breed and rescue.
