Today while watching the disney channel a common "episode commercial" about kids and their perfect families and lives with their cute little pets came up. I always hated these commercials because they treat the pets "as parts of their family" but really treat them like some toys. Today though I was very disgusted. They showed some girl with her guinea pig. It was in a pet store cage which compared to the pig she had the pig was 1/4 of the cage's size. I'm not exaggerating. It was very sad. The pig was trotting slowly around the small food dish in its cage. All it had was a food dish and some water. No hay no hidey house, pigloo, cozy, ANYTHING!! THe food wasn't even pellets it was mixed seeds!!! It was like on the bare bones care. She said it was part of her family but I think otherwise. Answer this honestly. Would you put a family member for their whole life in a room four times bigger than them with some stale bread and old water and sometimes take them out to play???
