Teacher encourages guinea pig outside!

SnowPrincess · Mar 12, 2010

I were so upset. Piggie is alone in hutch outside. I ask question about shelter, safety and friend. She said pig is outside because he smell so bad from poos on feet.

I tried nicely to explain that piggies need company and if he was given bath and inside he wouldn't smell or be sad and make crying noise anymore. You knows what she said???

Pigs are meant to live outside. They're dirty and the only reason I keep the pig alive is because I far too much of animal lover to kill him. :weepy:

No offense but i would make a plan to steal the pig, or ask her if you can have it. Thats not right what she said!

Agree!!!!

Any chance you could adopt this pig from this "animal lover"?

CavyMama · Mar 12, 2010

If the ONLY reason that she's keeping the pig alive is because she's an "animal lover", she ISN'T an animal lover.

That is TERRIBLE, see if you can adopt the poor piggy!!!

Ibbet · Mar 12, 2010

That is so sad. Poor piggy.
What she said is so wrong/sad.

Is there any way you could see about adopting him?
If you can't keep him you could just see about fostering him for awhile until you can find him a better home.

Hope this little guy (if he's even really a boy) gets out of that situation and soon.

Poor pig - he must have been kept in bad conditions/been fed the wrong food to have poos on his feet! Can you offer him a home/find him a better home? Maybe this "animal lover" would take money for him?

Are you looking for pigs? If you are, She will probably be willing to give him (or "adopt him") out to you. Then once you have him(her?) out of these terrible conditions, you can see about finding him a buddy. And, If you can't take in a pig(or any more pigs) you could find him a proper home.

I agree. Adopt the pig from her if you can. Or put her in touch with a rescue.

utsarah · Mar 12, 2010

I still cannot understand why people get a pet just to put outside, especially a small animal like a guinea pig. Why even have it in the first place??

CavyMama · Mar 12, 2010

I would appeal to her sense of why she doesn't keep him inside. If she says he smells and has poo on his feet, offer to take him off her hands so she doesn't have to worry about the odor or poo anymore. You can remind her that not having to feed or house him would save her money and not having to clean up after him will save her work and time. If that doesn't work, you could offer to pay her for him. Anything to get him out of those conditions.

SnowPrincess · Mar 12, 2010

I begged her to let me keep him, but she say she 'love him too much!'

Make me so angry.

I will try. My whole class was mocking me and bell went so I couldn't keep talk to her. I will see her in private and try this.

Tell her that if she loves him that much she should do the right thing for him and re-home him. And if all else fails, invest in a set of all black clothes, a flashlight and go during the night and steal him. Then leave a stuffed animal in the cage as a replacment!

Erm, as tempting as this might be I would not advise it seeing as she would probably know who took it since Snow has already approached her. I think it would be best not for Snow to go to jail!

Why on earth would your class mock you? Because you care about animals? Pssh, forget them.

But I would deffinetly talk to your teacher in private. Try to show her how wrong she is without comeing right out and offending her (this could make her mad and then she wouldnt even listen to you.)

Is this a class pet or her home pet?

SnowPrincess · Mar 15, 2010

Home pet. I has the class tomorrow, so will talk to her then.

SnowPrincess · Mar 15, 2010

I have been thinking about what I will say. Instead of begging to keep him like I did last time, this time I thought I might say thing like: 'I know how hard it is for you with so many pet, and piggie require lots of special attention and diet, I'd be more than happy to keep him for you'

Anyone has suggestion as how I may talk to her?
