very disturbing trend

[Catherine]

This can only end badly. I thought about people keeping guinea pigs for food and killing them badly. The professionals don't do a good job, how can amateurs even think that they will do as well.

It is going to make it more scary to sell guinea pigs as pets and rehome them from shelters. Fortunately the shelters have a pretty good adoption fee. But that does not stop someone from breeding their own once they get a female.

We have not even managed to protect the usual food animals from abuse. This is going to make it worse. How long will it be before we have people eating dogs. We are trying to overcome and eradicate animal cruelty and people find new ways that they can be cruel.

One of those piggies looked just like my Rosebert and probably is every bit as loveable.
