This is not an information book like CavySpirit is writing...its about a girl trying to rescue 500 Guinea Pigs from an abusive home. Here's just a little bit from it:
"Calm down Megan"Uncle Thomas said"We cannot do anything."
"Yes we can!"I said"Don't you remember Butterscotch's background?"
Uncle Thomas nodded and sighed. It was two years ago when Uncle Thomas rescued Butterscotch. She was abandoned at the vet office at 2 weeks old. The vet was not allowed to take in young baby Guinea Pigs without their mothers so the vet called Uncle Thomas, knowing that Uncle Thomas had some experience since he had three 10 week old Guinea Pigs at home. The vet looked over Butterscotch and gave Uncle Thomas and certificate that said "This Guinea Pig baby is in perfect health". Well, it wasn't for a few weeks later when Butterscotch started to get mites. All 3 other Guinea Pigs were in perfect health except for Butterscotch. Luckily, Aunt Amy got Butterscotch to the vet before any of the other Guinea Pig's got mites. Now, 2 years later, Butterscotch is in perfect health. Mite free.
"Now, don't you think all of those Guinea Pigs deserve a second chance just like Butterscotch?"I asked."
"Let's see.....multiple the 50 rubbermaid boxes, x10=500 Guinea Pigs! That's over $5,000 dollars in vet bills!"Uncle Thomas said"It takes me over 4 months just to get that much money. And I have to buy food for all the barn animals anyway. I'm sorry but we're just going to have to let it go."
I was angry now. Uncle Thomas dropped me off at my house and I walked inside. Angel, my West Highland Terrier greeted me and danced around me. Mom appeared and wiped her hands. "What's the long face for?"
"We went to Farm Ln. and the man there owned 500 Guinea Pigs. 50 rubbermaid containers and 10 smushed into each box"I said"But Uncle Thomas said that it would cost him 3 months to raise 5,000 dollars."
I hope this isn't too big for a blog but I thought I'd post it.
