    Pet Stores Frustrated With Pet Store Ignorance

    Just what I was thinking!!! Send in a secret operative (otherwise known as a friend), you know what the pet store guy wants to hear, so let your friend nod and smile at him, then GRAB THE PIGGIE AND RUN, (not literally). Then after the piggie is safe with you, you can go back and either try...

    Adopting from a breeder?

    Pinky and Wildcavy, Its things like this that tear me up. My Mum and I have always taken in unwanted and abused animals, our councils/local government run the animal pound, they only keep animals 3 days then if they are not claimed they are killed, now a days there are some rescue centers that...

    Adopting from a breeder?

    Hang on, I apologized because I had caused misunderstanding, due to my ignorance of the kill policies of shelters in a country I don't live in. I had no way of knowing that shelters in the USA are not the safe refuge that I thought they were, I am happy to be corrected on this point, and once I...

    Adopting from a breeder?

    I truly did NOT know this. I'm very sorry, I did not intend to detract from what foggycreekcavy had said in her post, or to anger pinky by sounding like I was. I was simply ignorant of the way this system worked in the USA. Once again I apologize if it accidentally sounded like I was saying that...

    Adopting from a breeder?

    Adopting from a breeder?

    Ah foggycreekcavy, my head agrees with you completely, there just is NO good reason for breeding, but my heart always goes and lets me down. No one wants to encourage breeders, or make it easier for them to keep doing it, but if they had a conscience they wouldn't be breeders, and I can't help...

    Animal Rights Am I the only one who loves their pet with LOGIC?

    I feel this is a very dangerous example to set, and path to tread, we show others how to treat us, by how we treat other living things. Love with logic, is another way of saying love with conditions, I love my pet, as long as they love me back, I love my pet as long as they are no trouble, I...

    No Guinea Pig Cages in a Child's Room???

    I think there are very good reasons behind all the "rules" and "do and don'ts". The perfect place to keep an animal, the perfect food, the perfect family, the perfect situation, etc, but I think there is a BIG flaw in setting out this PERFECT blueprint, that everyone must fit into, if they are...
