Here is what seems to be her final imput:

'I really don’t care and couldn’t be ****** writing ‘well thought out’ things to all these annoying weirdos who are so concerned about my guinea pig, it’s my business what I do with it and all you annoying random ***** are honestly not changing my thoughts on anything'

@missbunnyminaj- even if, on the slim chance, it didn't hurt the pig, I really don't see any sense in dyeing the fur of animals. I find it completely pointless, and even if she thinks that it is okay, no one can really know for sure.

I'm sure that white looks even better on her.

I've always thought dressing up pets was silly, but at this point I'd gladly take a pig in a costume over a pig with dyed fur any day of the week.

The pigs are beautiful enough as is, and I'm more than happy to just be able to have them in my life at all, so to me, it doesn't make sense to change anything about the little furbabies in our lives.

Different strokes, I suppose... I just wish the pets didn't have to suffer because of what the owner thinks is 'cute'.

I don't think any animal should be died. It does nothing for the animal, it's just for the human's enjoyment. I won't go to her page because it would just make me angry and then I'd start an online fight with her, which is pointless because she obviously get a joy out of getting reactions from people.

I can't believe her parents allow this, they are just as much to blame as she is. I feel so bad for this little piggie. It doesn't deserve to go through this stress.

Okay... In my opinion, dyeing animals is completely pointless. Not to mention highly irresponsible in some cases, like this one. I think it looks ridiculous when animals have colored fur. (Ecspecially when people dye it multi-colored. It makes me think of a clown wig.)

I seriously think this girl should just give up her poor pig to a rescue if this is just what hes going to do with it. Not that she will, of course... Her attitude just makes me so angry.

Wow. This is disgusting. If someone wanted a cute pink little fluffy thing there are many toy stores out there that will gladly sell you one. I love my guinea pigs because they are pure. Not tarnished by what the world is coming to. I could never imagine doing this to something that I love and care for so deeply. This person obviously doesn't care about her pig.

This is not nearly as bad as dressed up pigs. This is horrendous.

Once is all it takes sometimes to badly injure or kill a small animal. If you have someone in your household with a mental illness who can't be trusted around animals, and they can't be secured away from that person, then you shouldn't keep animals while you live with that person.

Dont worry my older sis not allowed to touch my pigs anymore or go near my room. I moved in with my other little sister's room to get them away from her

BPD is very serious and can lead to very violent outbursts. While it might not be fair to someone with a mental disorder, keeping them away from animals is the best option.

I personally have to show the same kind of restraint when anything happens to me. I know from personal illness that a mental disorder isn't an excuse... At some point one has to show restraint - be it self-restraint or forced restraint.

Missbunnyminaj, I wouldn't blame your sister. I know how hard emotions are to control for someone with a mental disorder - I live it every day. It's up to you to keep her from hurting the animal, as mufasa said.

It sucks, but animals, and especially piggies, are very small and one outburst can end in disaster.

IDK WHY lol...safety is a concern, I mean, if she'd squeezed strawberries and gave the pig a bath to make him pink, or blueberries or something, that wouldn't be bad. I used to make clothes for my pigs...LOL for fun photo ops. But this girl does seem immature and like she just wanted to dye her pig and is defensive about it...Idk lots of ppl think its cute to have their animals wear clothes, costumes, jewles, hair bows...I myself get plastic nail covers for my dog that are neon green so she doesn't scratch herself or others and cut the skin...but the safety of the dye is def an issue!

This is exactly what that evil person wants us to do; Make a big fus about it. I agree with everyone here, Dying pet fur is bad (and extremly so) and this person clearly can not take care of these pig, but this evil person just wants to see everybody keep on talking about it! Some people just want to watch the world talk about them. I know it's hard, but just letting it go is about the best thing we can do for that pig. some mod needs to shut this thread down!

So the consensus is she thought dyeing this piggie's fur was safe because it 'wasn't touching her skin'.... Are you serious, kid? Have you never dyed your OWN hair? You massage that stuff into YOUR SCALP as well as your hair- ERGO, YOUR SKIN.

The stupidity scales have broken.
