Guinea Pig Cruelty Questions

I went to a Ranch to ride horses the other day. It was three hours from my home home, we were at our up north home. It is a big place, that lets people come ride, take lessons, shop at the gift shop, eat at the steak house, etc. In one of the gift shops they had two guinea pigs. I was surprised to see that they were surrounded by c and c; they were in a small 1x3.

The cruelty part is that they were on bedding that was so dirty and caked up, you couldn't distinguish chips, just like wood slush. THey had NO water (just an empty small bottle), which is what upset me the most. They had pellets in a tiny tiny dish and no hay. I am sure they are getting no veggies. Is there anything I can do? Can I call anyone? Will they take it seriously?

Re: Guinea Pig Cruelty Questions

Call the local SPCA and animal control to report the conditions. Call the manager of the place to complain. I hate to say it, as much as I deplore the conditions, I would be tempted to buy them to get them out that horrid environment.

That is animal neglect. Please call animal control and report them.

SPCA is very good about prosecuting when there is no water present.

Re: Guinea Pig Cruelty Questions

I have found the local number for the aspca, is that what you guys are talking about?

Do I call them first and tell them they are treating the animals wrong or do I just call the ASPCA?
