That disgusts me. No animal should be sold online to any person that bids the most. That idiot doesn't know what I'm doing with that boar! And look at how small that cage is!

Even putting aside how disgusting that is, why on earth would you bid $60US for a boar online when you can get one from a rescue for free or, at worst, from a pet store for vastly less than that?

I'm surprises someone hasn't pointed out the 'Produces Beautiful Colorful Babies!!!' Stupidity upon stupidity.

The whole site is bizarre. There was a listing under "Giraffes". Thank goodness it was only a wooden carving for sale.

There was a time when rich people would be giraffes. Remember Gladiator, when the guy was miffed beacuse he was sold giraffes that wouldn't breed? A lot of upper class people had manageries. So did royalty.

Not that I'm supporting it or anything. Just thought I would point out the historical angle on it. I'm sure one or two people do own such exotic animals. Can anyone say Sigfreid and Roy?

If I'm not mistaken isnt his cage a 2x2 about? That isnt horrible. THe pig being sold on the internet is though.

No, that size is not acceptable at all. One guinea pig needs at the very least a 2x3. This part of the post may be off topic but I'm making my own piggy a 2x4 preferabbly with a 2x1 loft...

Well, I agree that it isnt "standard" size but its still not a typical pet store cage and it shouldnt be called small... maybe "not big enough" is better.

I see your point... For a petstore cage it is better than some, but still not the size it ought to be.
