[Gpdd] Breeding- Please do not breed

[Trina Pelham]

Hi Trina Here,
I don't post too often but I read daily and I beg you Lisa, please don't 
breed piggies. I work for Cavy Care Inc. in Colorado and we are a licensed 
no-kill shelter. Being with the shelter I can also personally tell you of 
all the nightmares I see of people who don't want their piggies and they 
come to us to find homes. This is also hard on the piggie as they have 
feelings too and they get close to a family, the person who feeds them and 
then suddenly for some reason or another, the piggie gets dropped off at the 
shelter and he/she is wondering, what did I do. To see the childrens faces 
too when their parents decide that the new baby is suddenly allergic to the 
piggie and get rid of the piggie is so heart breaking. All you are doing by 
breeding piggie for sale, is breaking the hearts of piggies. At least when 
we adopt them to homes, we have a chance to screen that home and if for some 
reason there is a problem, we know our piggies will come back to us. I also 
spend alot of time educating new adopted piggies and the families so we 
don't have the tradgedy of a pet coming back to us do to lack of education 
or getting bored of the pet because the may not understand behavior. This is 
why we have a mentoring program on our website. So instead of breeding, why 
don't you find a shelter near you and volunteer your time. It would be time 
well spent.
