Yea okay i did lie right their but like i said why wouldn't i buy from a shelter or rescue? If they actually had guinea pigs i would of did it in a heartbeat. Then i would be giving them a great home and saving their life's. But after all of the websites i looked at, and the shelters i called, only one place had 1 pig and it was a male. I have already mentioned it. And they would be cheaper then a pet store, so its not like im supporting the pet store. I just want a pair of lovely girl guinea pigs. And the petstore i got them from only had one liter of guiena pigs and it was there first liter ever. I know that because its a local place and she said the breeder was done and they had all the pets checked because it has a built in vet store. So both my pig's are healthy as can be =D
As I mentioned to you at the time you started complaining that the MULTIPLE shelters around you had no pigs, they VERY frequently do, which I know for a fact because I live near you. (Lollypop alone had TWELVE recently.) And Craigslist near you has pigs virtually constantly.
As far as I am aware there is no such thing as an emergency situation requiring someone to obtain a pair of female guinea pigs immediately. Care to explain why it was that not supporting breeders and pet stores isn't important enough for you to exercise even a few days or weeks' worth of patience?
Your comment about you not supporting pet stores is nonsensical. You did exactly that by buying your pigs there - it doesn't matter one bit that they charge less than the rehoming fee at the local shelters. And even if we are to believe the fairy tale that your pet store told you about them being the first ever pigs sold there, your actions have encouraged them to make it not the last.
Or looked a town further away.
