Careless For all of those CavySpirit and guineapigcages.com bashers...

People can be very ignorant about our views on pet stores and breeders sometimes, so I just wanted to clear a few things up. We would not be against pet stores and breeders if they used humane and kind tactics to produce and sell animals! But hold on for a minute...who cares about guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, and other domestic pets anyway? you might be thinking. Well then you need a reality check! WE ARE ANIMALS TOO. We belong to the animal kingdom! What if we were in the pets' place? What if we were abused and neglected by some "higher being?" You CavySpirit and GPC.com haters would have something different to say then, I believe (correct me if I am wrong, please, because I am an animal lover!) And another thing, we do not shove our opinions down peoples' throats, we simply try to educate them about the horrors of animal abuse and cruelty. It is of course the individual's decision, but we are here to inform. And I do not believe that guinea pigs are going to be extinct anytime soon, given the millions, maybe BILLIONS of them in shelters, rescues, and other places all across the globe. We really do not need more guinea pigs right now, or other animals, for that matter. THAT is why we don't support pet stores and breeders, along with their [sometimes] unkind treatment of animals. We are also not against all pet stores and breeders, mainly the ones that deliver sick and maltreated animals. But still, l am personally against breeders because we really don't need anymore animals to be bred.
Not all of us here feel exactly the way I do, so it is very condescending and rude when people set stereotypes, so please don't!
