Crazy News story here in Indiana!

[LiloElf]

I flip on the 24hour news channel every morning to check the temp outside and I heard someone say guinea pig on there. Well, they repeat the news about every 15 mins or so, I sat and waited til they repeated the story.

Charges were dropped for 3 IU college kids who had put a "parachute" on a guinea pig and dropped him from an 8 story window! They said 2 of them were down on the ground to retrieve the pig but it had gotten stuck in a tree. The charges were dropped because they'd already paid a $500 fine for it.

Thank goodness the pig lived, but that is just insane! I'm sittin here thinkin, how would you like it if someone handmade a parachute and put it on you to drop you out the window! Another reason why Guinea Pigs are preferably taken care of by an adult. =(

College students are stupid, but when I was in college I didn't know anyone who would put an animal in danger like that. Poor guinea pig, it should be taken away from the kids.

I haven't heard this story, but man these young men are suppose to be adults, our future learders. That is a shame, poor piggie.

Thats horrible. I feel so bad for the piggie and I am so happy it lived.

I can't even imagine coming up with a scheme like that. Any word on where the pig is now?

They said that the pig was taken to the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I don't live in Bloomington, but it is a nice town so I hope it's a good place for the pig to be.

That's really sad. That never would have happened to, say... a lion...

Just goes to show: nice "guys" get thrown out the window...
