Argh. *scratches out the details of the breed and hair-type after each dead pig picture.* Even in death, you only care about what breed they were?

I wonder one thing.. Is everyone here against pig showing to?
ptimist: Petclass?
I came to this forum to get in touch with guinea pig ppl in other countries, but i guess i was wrong :sorry: It is a forum for ppl who can't let other have their own opinions... I guss i have to leave
First off, you're welcome to have your own opinions, but this site is PAID for by a person who runs a rescue. This is her site, and it's her right to say what is and is not acceptable. You don't go on to a
private Anti-Breeding forum to talk about breeding.
This forum is intended to teach you about correct guinea pig care, and to help those who are looking to take better care of pigs. If you are here for that reason, stay. If you're only here to brag about your breeding, leave. Please read what this site has to offer about breeding. Maybe then you'll consider what you are putting your pigs through. Although you may have your opinions, this place is here to offer you a better life for your pigs, if you are willing to keep an opened-mind. And breeding and showing are not for the well-beings of your pigs. It's for yourself.
I'm
very sorry that you have lost so many pigs this month. But, it's your responsibility to take care of
every pig you (or your mom) own. You are obviously in over your head with 37 pigs (
my god), none of which will ever see a vet or recieve the proper attention and love it needs.
I feel this is a complete mockery to those devoted members who have done everything they can to try and save the life of a dying pig. And here you are with 5 dead piggies, 2 of which you
knew were sick for months, and another one that you know is currently sick... and your'e asking us to hold a memory of a pig in our minds when it was just a breed and pet class to you.
I do give out my sympathy to the
pigs.

Breeding kills. Period. I have posted two different rescues in Sweden on your introduction thread. There IS an overpopluation problem. By breeding you ARE contributing to it. You risk the lives of your pigs... ...You also condemn the pigs in those shelters to be homeless or be put to death because you need to make a quick buck by exploiting the lives of another living being.
I just wanted to quote that again for importance. PM hit it dead on. Oops. No pun intended.
