Racist? This statement indicates to me one of two things - a) You're looking to stir up trouble, or b) You don't know the definition of "Racist" or "Racism." If it's the latter, which I doubt, I've included the definition of racism here, from Wikipedia:Not to get on the bad side but, don't you think thats a bit racist?
Now, I'm sorry, but the comment you quoted was about breeders, not the British as a lot. And sorry to break it to you, but breeders are not a race.Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
If I was looking for a way to justify doing something horrible to an animal I might also convince myself that doing the right thing is horrible for a number of ridiculous reasons, too.Of course hutches have their ups&downs, as do cages. But, cages are even worse than hutches. Have a cage means they have to listen to humans whinging, cleaning, TVs, talking, such&such. If they're outside they can actually listen to natural sounds.
If in your mind it's an awful thing for a guinea pig in a cage inside, where it's safe and the temperature is controlled is a bad thing because they have to listen to the TV, talking, and cleaning, my goodness, how do you stand it? I can't believe you haven't put up a tent outside to escape the atrocities of household sounds. You're a trooper.
Well, I can certainly see why it might be offensive to a breeder. The truth really isn't all that easy to hear sometimes. And since you missed it, Ly didn't call "you all" breeders. She said "many are breeders." Since you're all about touting "research first" I suggest you do the same before propagating your nonsense here.As I was saying, what you said was a little offensive. 'Old standards', and calling us all breeders. Generalisation much.
Maybe try reading a little more closely and do a little less twisting of what's actually said so you can start a fight. Or try to.
