I'm not sure how to feel about this, what do you guys think?

At first I thought it looked really cute but as I looked at more pictures and thought about it, this seems more like a horrible idea.

It started out cute, then it was down hill. In the end it looked like a deranged hoarders idea of paradise. Or a really cute factory farm. I remember a phrase from childhood that would describe it perfectly. "Road Kill Birthday Cake"

The first eight pictures are absolutely adorable! It's seemingly a piggy paradise in those eight pictures.

I don't know. The first couple of pictures were cute and all but I just kept thinking about how vulnerable they are were being outside and how at any time, a predator could come along. Then the last couple of pictures where all those poor pigs were cramped into those tiny cages, which didn't look all that clean or sturdy. I also wonder if they mix the sexes which is why they have so many.

The first 8 photos were cute, but I don't think the last 4 photos belong on that page.

It's a really bad idea. They'd probably don't even sex the pigs, and just allow them to breed freely.

I like this pic though. It would make a nice fancy indoor cage or a free range room.

I think it was cute but then I think what if all the boys and girls are together? And in some photo the piggies look clustered.

This is not a good idea. It looks like a GP breeding farm. Letting them all roam together, not sexing them, living in horrible cages. Not good, not good at all. Where is it? I did not see where it is. An animal welfare organization needs to go there and get it shut down. Lots of piggies to rehome. A bad bad situation.

More I think about this worst I feel.

Not enough home for the piggie offspring when they born. That many pigs with, there could be hundreds of baby homeless!

I agree with what everyone else has said. The first pictures were kind of cute, but I was a bit concerned about predators, and then it all went very downhill. It looks too cramped and the living conditions look horrible. I worry about breeding too.

The first pictures are cute but then the last like 4 pictures are h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e!!! But a ccool Idea if they had less piggies, Alot more supervision and somehow to make that safe from predators!!
It' cute, those little house are awesome ! I wish Guinea pigs wern't kept in those little house on the last four pictures, it makes me sad!

Re: I'm not sure how to feel about this, what do you guys think?

My mind went off to a fantasy place when I looked at the first photo and for a bit I got lost in a day dream where I could fill my yard with piggies cause there where no dangers out there for them and how cool it would be to lay on the grass and have all the piggies run around me all day. Then the phone rang and I was jolted back into reality where there are indeed dangers outside for them and all things that go with that. I do wish I had not seen the bottom few photos cause they made me feel a bit sick!
