Breeding BREEDER trying to sell a Male Skinny Pig in Connecticut - Guinea Pig Cages, Care, Store, Photos of Guinea Pigs and More Forum!

crazyaboutpigs · #1 09-17-09, 07:30 am

Unfortunately, I can not keep them all...says the hubby! I have found homes for all of my little babies except this one little boy. I am located in New London County in Connecticut. He will be ready to go this weekend! Please understand that these cute little monsters eat quite a bit more than your regular piggie....which also means a little more mess. They also need to be kept at room temperature. They are worth the extra care for the right person.

Small adoption fee.

O My GOSH he is beautiful!!!! Why is it not as easy as sending an email then I could have had him. Please who ever gets him, love him a a bit extra for me!!! Aaaaaa

ENOUGH!

Darling Tina. The jig is up you lowlife, lying scum breeder! I have suspected you were lying for some time now but your "small rehoming fee applies" crap is what pushed me over the line. I did a little searching on you and found out that you have a habit of lying on forums to continue your exotic animal breeding mill operation.

I love that you offer shipping on your animals.

Blooming Hedgehogs sound familiar dear?

How about the flying squirrels? I don't really believe the story about "your friend" can't care for them and you have to move cross country. What a crock!

The fact that you have purposely bred and are selling these pigs for $65 each sound familiar. How about this little line from your breeder site

"I also have a female Skinny Gene carrier available that is not pictured. When bred to a skinny, she will produce 50% + skinnys in each litter. She is unrelated to the skinny's above. She is $25"

You are a terrible person. Really and truly. You are one of the people in this world that are sending it into the toilet. You have no shame, no honor. You are the embodiment of every lowlife characteristic that we say about breeders.

Above all you have the nerve to try to use this site to boost your sales?! What is wrong with you? Are you totally lacking a moral compass? Do you care so little for animals and the world around you that you would use sentient creatures to make a few bucks? Where is your empathy? Or do you only have empathy for your pocketbook?

Your cavy star status won't be saving you.

Get out of here and go wipe your conscience.

I'm moving this to the kitchen since we DO NOT allow breeders to sell animals in the adoption area.

*to our regular members, sorry this is so harsh but this has really gotten to me. I'm kicking myself that I didn't research this scumbag earlier when I first suspected hr lies.

WOW,

I totally didn't expect this at all.

I just can't imagine why people would purposely put their guinea pigs through pregnancy. Just looking at those pictures she posted made me feel so bad for her animals.

**Peggysu** · #5 09-17-09, 10:57 am

I'm surprised, but at the same time I'm not. She probably won't learn, even when one of those babies died. Poor piggies. Absolutely disgusting.

Thanks for letting us know VoodooJoint.

**Paula** · #6 09-17-09, 11:18 am

Wow, VJ, awesome investigating.

I find it deeply troubling that a person would go to this extent to sell their purposely bred pigs. Lying about intentional breeding is one thing, but coming up with a story about finding these two pigs that just so happened to be pregnant, going so far as to say that you always keep male animals but took a chance on these pigs because they were so "ugly cute" and took them in from the shelter in an effort to get a pro-rescue, very anti-breeding community to embrace you is ... nearing pathological lying.

In any case it should serve as a lesson to stop breeding the poor things that you've had to go to such extremes to sell the animals you've bred. It's deeply disturbing and you most certainly shouldn't be in any position to be caring for helpless animals at all, much less breeding them for your own selfish profit.

**Wodentoad** · #7 09-17-09, 11:19 am

I feel ill. Really, I just feel ill about this. God save her pigs because she won't. Urg.

**princesspoppy** · #8 09-17-09, 11:20 am

Well she really pulled the fur over our eyes .

**fieryone** · #9 09-17-09, 11:29 am

Wow! How on Earth did you find all of that info? That's amazing investigative work and thank you so much for calling her out. And so bluntly, I might add.

Ugh. That was quite the story she concocted and I feel, well, used.

**VoodooJoint** · #10 09-17-09, 11:54 am

I'm just sorry I can't put up a link to her site and all of the forums/ads she has on the internet for her animals. Believe me though, there is NO DOUBT about what I found out. For example, here are the babies for sale pictures from her website. Compare to the first picture she placed in this thread.

**fieryone** · #11 09-17-09, 12:14 pm

Just posting a picture labeled "Male 1" should have been telling enough. But seeing them all labeled with stock numbers more or less? Eew.

**Skeetersmom** · #12 09-17-09, 12:20 pm

I saw the craigslist ad yesterday on my local craigslist and suspected it was the same person. Couldn't believe the $65 adoption fee when I read the ad. That is totally a breeder looking for money! Oops litters, no one charges outrageous fees like that. Crazy! And to think we all fell for it for soooo long!

**VoodooJoint** · #13 09-17-09, 12:34 pm

Hahahaha, she took down the webpage advertising the skinny pigs. Too late breeder Tina, I already got screen saves of everything.

Just goes to prove that even the breeders know they are in the wrong. If she thought what she was doing was right she would not be trying to hide the evidence.

**LauraBean** · #14 09-17-09, 01:14 pm

I'm sort of confused...is this the same girl who "took two preggo piggies home from the local shelter"? The one we all waited anxiously for skinny piglit babies with?
Wow. I don't even know what to say about this. She had me going as well.
Poor skinny pig Mamas and babies(along with any other fur-person she has).

**momof1kid3piggi** · #15 09-17-09, 01:16 pm

WOW!! I was not Expecting this at all. To think we all feel into the lovable trap of "Ifound two females in a Shelter" I just cant believe it, But then again I can. Amazing work to find this out VoodooJoint.

**rattatrattery** · #16 09-17-09, 01:17 pm

BYB or any breeding is so unnecessary. There are tons of pigs in shelters, even preggo ones. (im dealing with that scenario). If she did lie, thats pretty sad because obviously she sees the wrong in her doing. I am impressed with the investigation that has been done. Job well done.

$65 is definitely too pricey for an "oops" litter. Its clearly breeding. However, Ive seen higher. There is a BYB around me selling them for $150. I wish people would quit trying to make a quick buck!

**bamby71994** · #17 09-17-09, 01:21 pm

If she is charging that much for a skinny, what does she do to the poor babies that have fur! I hope they are all right. What kind of terrible person would to such a thing!

**TallulahBear** · #18 09-17-09, 01:25 pm

Oh my gosh, there were how many pages of concered readers following that thread? That makes me so very sad....poor piggy girls put through pregancies like that to line someone's pocket book.

**Ibbet** · #19 09-17-09, 01:57 pm

Wow, I totally did not expect that. How awful.
Poor piggies, I'm glad you found and exposed her lies.

Lets just all hope she stops breeding, yet I really doubt she does.

**Skeetersmom** · #20 09-17-09, 02:44 pm

Found her ad if anyone is interested...... It is on backpage.com and you can flag on there if anyone wants to flag it!

Removed - backpage.com does not prohibit breeder sales.
