Re: YOU - helping animals!

*Not quite a veggie, but will only eat free range/organic eggs/chicken and nothing with animal by-products ie carmines, gelatine etc

*Avoid products tested on animals wherever possible

*Answer Help emails on a GP rehoming site in the UK about rehoming up and down the country

*All my piggies are, always have been, and always will be rescues/rehomed

*Recently taken on two unwanted pigs that were being advertised on eBay who had been fighting badly with open wounds and fungal and hope to rehome them to a thoroughly vetted home when they are back to full health

*Provide the very best food, hay and welfare I can for my boars

*Take on single boars who are difficult to rehome (I only have boys)

*Ask awkward questions and embarass my husband in pet stores about their often poor welfare standards and lobby pet stores in writing on their attitudes to animal welfare ie, as why they keep piggies with rabbits/sell live animals etc (but I'm never rude!)

*Support non live animal pet stores and avoid ones that do sell animals

*Occasionally help with rescue runs UK wide

*Try to educate wherever I can about the importance of a good guinea savvy vet/rescue and rehoming/pet trade/backyard breeding/showing etc

*Regularly donate and support UK GP Rescues

*Moderate on a pro-rescue forum
