However it is wrong to say that they would not do well in a loving home environment. They have never been given a chance. It makes the researchers feel better about killing the animals if they can say that they wouldn't work out anywhere else. I am sure most lab guinea pigs would be happy to try life at my place with its piggie room service, unlimited supply of hay and pellets and spacious accommodations.
I agree wholeheartedly! Most creatures, no matter their past traumas, are capable of responding to an understanding and loving environment. They may always be 'special needs' companions, but with an experienced sensitive person they could live happy lives.
