My point is that all species die during birth. You just want to say only guinea pigs. How many dog, how many cats on that site.
Your suggesting we only buy from shelters. Well eventually there will not be enough for everyone that wants one or from the ocassional oops pregnancy. Then what? That forces people to breed. Supply and demand. I would like to think that if there eere more regulations and education we would have responsible breeder. Their going to breed anyway, lets have it safe and regulated. Lets continue to give great advice and educate. If we only say breeding is bad, those backyard breeders are going to continue and useless deaths will happen. You cant just say breeding is bad and shut it down. That will never happen. So accept the fact that it will continue and everyone work to changing the conditions. Ive talked to the manager at our local petco when i found the gpigs in a fish tank, over crowded.i calmly explained the problem and why. He apologized and moved them back to the huge enclosure where they had only one little gray animal whatever they are. Small steps, changes, regulations, education. Work for a change, not a blind eye. Bad conditions will only continue that way.
