[Gpdd] Misc: Guinea pig parachute

[Jackie Bickers]

Hi all-
To further prove that I'm not a vigilante (and hopefully to encourage 
others), here is what I wrote to Dean McCaig at IU regarding the guinea pig 
incident:

"I had the unfortunate experience of reading about your school and the 
guinea pig incident in the headlines of several major news providers. I live 
in Illinois, but I have had several friends who attended IU. It's a good 
school. Please do not send the message that your university condones 
violence against animals by going light on punishment for the guilty person. 
I own six guinea pigs, and they have all the personality and needs of any 
other companion animal, such as cats and dogs. All animals deserve care and 
respect, even "rodents". It has been my experience that people who have 
little repect for the lives of animals usually also have little respect for 
humanity. Please keep this in mind when it comes to you to administer the 
university's punishment to the guilty student."

I still encourage everyone to write to this dean, and give this guinea pig a 
voice. They named her Noel for Christmas.
Sincerely,
Jackie Bickers
