[Gpdd] announcement: in regards to Marie Claire Magazine

[Reed, Katherine]

I was also appauled that they would print a picture of a roasting pig in
their magazine.  I shared that information w/ the group
'Guinea_Pigs at yahoogroups.com'.  Not one person in that guinea pig group
was offended in the least bit by the picture!!!  This is a guinea pig
group and NOBODY agreed w/ my view.  Here are some exerpts from what
they said.  Once again...I am as shocked at all of their reactions as I
was about the picture in the magazine.

 

When i read emails and posts like this on Forums it kind of bugs me. We
eat
cows, and pigs, and chickens and other animals. Just like some countries
in
South America eat Guinea Pigs. If it was a baby that was roasted in the
picture it would be a completely different story -Brandon

 

 

I don't think it's fair to say that anybody loves cavies any
less for NOT being offended. - Kenny

 

Would I eat guinea pig?  Yeah, I'd try it.- Jill

 

These are just a few bits from the emails I got.  All I can say is WOW,
these people are nuts

Thanks for all the suggestions for the name for my little dark brown
girl w/ Ruby eyes.  The official name is...drum roll....TRUFFLE.  I love
it and so does she.  I learned that the really deep red eyes that almost
look black in low light are called Ruby.  I never knew that.  

 

I have 2 babies that are turning 4 weeks tomorrow.  We live in Phoenix.
They are multicolored, long haired father.  Does anyone know someone who
might be interested in a baby.  I want them to go to a good home and
would be willing to drive to southern CA or NV.
