Re: Breeder's Cages

Slap, I didn't send one to him. I sent one to the people who have the website http://www.familytimezone.com/domin...ies_set_up.html

I talked about the cage size, the wheel and food. They said that they get fresh produce as a treat, so I told them that they need 1 cup a day etc

Re: Breeder's Cages

It's not just the conditions that breeders keep their pigs in that is wrong though. The whole concept is... they make have nice cages but they are still adding to the over population. Just because you have found one 'good' breeder, doesn't mean that all are good.

Re: Breeder's Cages

Bromers, can you please try and use some punctuation? Five lines with spelling errors and not one comma or dot are almost illegible.

Re: Breeder's Cages

When I looked at those pictures I really though it was a waste of cubes. If they took apart the shelves, they'd have at least enough for a 2x5. Why opt to keep the cages so small?

Re: Breeder's Cages

bromers, don't bother. That isn't the point of this thread. If you want to start a thread defending breeders, do it on a new thread in this forum.

Maybe because it makes catching easier. One of those breeders claimed her pigs are super tame and don't fear anything - great for her! But I believe it was bought at the cost of movement, i.e. those pigs have no place to run, so they get used to staying. Bit questionable to me.

Re: Breeder's Cages

I wrote to a couple people and they wrote back. Too bad I didn't keep the e-mail. If any of you do write can you post both e-mails here??

I think you need to get permission from the emailers before posting. Usually copyright issues.

Laura220 >> according to my research, any e-mail that is sent to a private e-mail account (such as someone e-mailing you) is protected by copyright laws. Things posted, etc. on a forum (like this) or a newsgroup are not protected - to a point. You have to get permission from the author of the e-mail to disseminate it further - even by forwarding the e-mail to a friend!

No, you can forward it to a friend or a 'personal advisor', under the context of 'what should I do' or 'how should I respond'.

It's just like a letter, if I'm sent a 'love letter' I can show it to all my friends if I so choose. But, I don't take the same 'love letter' and post it on the school bulletin board for all to see, resulting in great embarassment for the sender.

Outside of all other assurances, if an e-mail is sent to your account, you can do what you wish with it. For instance, spam or unsolicited e-mail is not protected. Otherwise e-mail is protected if a 'reasonable' person would assume the conversation is private. Which is true most of the time, especially since the messages in question are replies to a message you originally sent.

You can always summarize or relate your experience to the public. In theory, people can sue you for libel, but they have to show actual monetary damages.

Paranoid >> LOL! "put down" he he he.... ahem.

Access >> Yeah, I kinda paraphrased. I should have explained better. The laws on web/e-mail copyrights are very gray. It's all a very mucky area.

Whatever you do, don't try writing to Jaylene (www.jaylene.com). If you do, she'll just tell you to, oh, ___ off. Not very pleasant. Believe me, I tried.

I look at my Bonnie who can (and does) easily jump some 30 cm. I do NOT want to think of her in that woman's "loving care".
