65 guinea pigs found dead - poisoned

My dad just told me about this... Happened at our local zoo yesterday and it's just disgusting. I can't believe what some people can do and to such innocent animals

Here's the link for the whole story:http://m.theglobeandmail.com/news/na...service=mobile

One reason why guinea pigs (or any animal, for that matter) shouldn't be kept in zoos. Especially not guinea pigs.

Yea I completly agree.. Bad enough they live in a zoo but then they get poisoned..

Hmm..we only have really exotic animals at our zoo. I have never heard of anyone having guinea pigs at their zoo. That's very interesting. It's so sad that they passed away.

Sounds like this zoo has alot of problems keeping animals safe.

I know we are not supposed to comment, but I always wonder who votes down on posts like this. People who think guinea pigs should totally be kept in zoos? How is that even debatable? I wish they would post and MAKE it debatable...by us.

I've seen no thanks on equally innocent stuff, at least then we can see who the idiot is.
