Your "explanation" of why you bought a pig instead of rescue one doesn't say anything that several thousand posters before you haven't said.
It really doesn't matter that you or anyone else had in mind "giving the little pet store piggie a home" rather than "perpetuating the breeding of
cavies and selling them to random bystanders in pet stores." It has exactly the same effect. And your "blurring" what Paula said has made you reverse the point - she isn't saying no one is as saintly as her, she's saying anyone can do as she did. (And if you can't, you shouldn't have gotten pigs at all.) As for your question, "Why not actively search for the morally sound source instead of trying to defeat the commercial pet industry?" hint, hint - Paula
did seek out a morally sound source for her pigs, remember? That's what you were complaining about earlier - her moral superiority?
Peggysu didn't say you didn't care about pigs, which might have been a personal attack - she said you didn't care about what people are saying, which is simply not. Don't expect me to feel sorry for your hurt feelings when you started off by calling people "preachy" and cursing at them.
