WE SUPPORT HUMANE AND RESPONSIBLE ANIMAL HUSBANDRY STOP Backyard Breeders - who care more about making a few bucks than they do the health and welfare of their animals. STOP Pet Store Sale of Animals - who not only fuel the backyard breeders by providing an easy market, but who also commonly neglect an animal's vital needs in order to keep overhead down and make a few more bucks along the way - (we've got a lil guy with a forever crippled leg to prove it). Pet stores should deal in animal supplies, not animals! STOP Allowing Your Pets to Propagate - have them spayed or neutered, or keep small pets (male & female) always separated. STOP The Dumping of Animals - to the wild, to pet stores, to other organizations which often have them euthanized, to family/friends who really don't want/need them. STOP Treating Animals Like Toys - a living creature is not a "plaything" for a child to enjoy until he/she becomes bored, then neglect it or throw it away like an old toy. A pet is part of the family and a "forever" family responsibility! Cavies, in particular, are extremely sensitive animals requiring a great deal of attention; they simply cannot be adequately cared for exclusively by a child.
