You are expecting us to respect you and your opinions with an attitude like that? If that is honestly how you feel then I have to doubt that you actually do love your animals. No one who truely loves animals would feel that way.
I told jody ( am gpw'er) what you said about me supporting the deaths of guinea pigs by showing and here her reply:
[SIZE=1]How do they figure that?!! I bet they all ganged up on you too, armed with their stupid facts and figures that make no sense to anyone but those select few. They're like a cult! All like sheep following one another, never letting anyone have a different opinion!
She's got that right hasn't she???
And by the way I DO love animals so shut up about that!

Desperate to be unliked? You see what I mean, you don't respect other peoples opinions. Not every one thinks the same as you, you all need to learn to RESPECT THAT. Most breeders are responisble, you can't just jump to conclusions.

It must be some sort of breeder badge of honor to come here and make fools of themselves. Then they can band together and commiserate about how the "animal rights activists" are so mean to them. Ho hum.

Why would you expect to be liked when you go to a board that stands for one thing and then post things against it? I'm against breeding, but I certainly would never go to a probreeding board and tell them how much I disagree with what they're doing. Why would I? I knew what the board was about when I joined.

Why would you go to a cat lovers board, post about how much you dislike cats, and then stagger around in a bewildered fashion when people didn't hug you and welcome you to their community?

Umm yeah, you've got that wrong. :eye-poppi

Me and EMMA (if you read what she said) said we do not breed.

Re: Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs

I'm not talking to Jody. I'm talking to you.

Tell me if these statements make sense please.

-There is an animal overpopulation problem.

-There are limited homes for animals.

-Breeding creates more animals.

-More animals creates a larger overpopulation.

-Some animals will not get homed therefore some animals will be euthanized.

-The more animals bred means the more animals that will get euthanized.


If you find fault with any of those statements then please tell me exactly what the faults are and why. If you can find no faults then you will have to concede that breeding causes the deaths of animals.

Re: Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs

She said she wanted to be a breeder, sweetums. Maybe you should read the first post? " I show guinea pigs, I know breeders and hoping to breed when I'm older!" If you read what she said, that is.

I never said anyone should agree with my stance on breeding, but then again, I don't go into pro-breeding forums and condemn everyone for not agreeing with my personal views.

I have said nothing about her showing or wanting to breed.. if you want to go back and read my posts.. I simply said that I felt that she came in here to start trouble.. I think thats why she already had her picture of her badge scanned.

Re: Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs

As is typical mmsy has now brought over other breeder/showers to cause problems on this forum. This is exactly what happened with that "cage" thread you brought up earlier.

Umm, where did I say that I disagree with rescuing? No where. Two of my pigs are rescues and I help out at my local rescue a lot also.. they respect that I show - they are fine about it. Does that mean they are "bad" as some of the members on here would say? :sarcastic

Re: Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs

So like most breeder/showers you are now going to act like a fool? How does this help us to respect what you do?

By the way, thank you for telling me I know too much. It's much better then knowing too little.

Like I said, I'm not disagreeing with this. But there are responsible breeders, not everyone is bad you know.

My point being, the forum is clearly anti-breeding and anti-showing. Simple. End of statement. To come onto a board that is anti-breeding and start spouting off pro-breeding nonsense is quite foolish if you want to be "liked". I have never called any breeder or shower bad. So you can quit quoting that me. They are making choices that I don't agree with and that directly affect problems in guinea pig overpopulation. Most of them are good, decent people, but I don't agree with their decisions, and I certainly don't think it's very polite for one of them to come and flamebait an antibreeding board.
