Re: Guinea pig fun show Minnesota

Should be so much fun since the event is hosted by a bunch of breeders and showers.

Re: Guinea pig fun show Minnesota

This show is run by the local breeders association. Do a search for the "hosts". The first link I opened had Tracy Iverson at the top of the list of breeders. this is the same "reputable/responsible" breeder that admitted in an email to a member here that he breeds his dals and roans together knowing they will create lethals and then feeds the lethals to his snakes. The link to that thread is here

If anyone goes to this show for any reason other then to picket and had out information about the overpopulation problem these people create then you are feeding the problem.

DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOW!!!!

Re: Guinea pig fun show Minnesota

This doesn't sound like any better an idea to me than a typical show-- it's still going to stress the pigs out, put them at risk of communicable diseases, etc. No thanks, I'll pass.

Re: Guinea pig fun show Minnesota

I saw that ad to on Craigslist the other day. I also thought it sounded fun until I did a search on the hosts and found out they're breeders....won't be going to that!
