[Gpdd] Health: Family Circle

[joan fagalde]

Dear Ms Fears
   
  I am writing to you directly as e mails to your response address seems to generate no response.  I can't believe the shoddy research as well as dangerous advice that was done in your recent article on pets that included guinea pigs.
   
  Guinea Pigs are not simple, throw away pets.  They have very specific needs and, as a matter of fact, do not make good pets for small children as children tend to be too rough for their small, fine bones.  The use of a wheel or plastic ball is NOT for guinea pigs.  Their spines do NOT bend backwards and this can cause very serious injury to the guinea pig!
   
  Until now, I've always assumed that your magazine had a certain amount of integrity but since the error in your article, no retraction and no publication of letters pointing any of this out in your most recent edition, I can only assume that this is not so.  I have bought my last Family Circle magazine and fully intend to tell anyone else I know who buys it to stop as not only is your research shoddy but your response to reader concerns is non-existant.
   
  Sincerely,   Joan Fagalde
