Owners Surrender 150 Guinea Pigs to the MSPCA Wednesday, October 17, 2007
The Worcester area owners of 150 Guinea Pigs have formally surrendered the pets to the MSPCA after initial steps to foster the animals were deemed inappropriate. Following the acceptance of the Guinea Pigs, the pets arrived at the MSPCA’s Animal Care and Adoption Centers at Boston, Nevins Farm and Western New England. Veterinarian teams were at each location to administer triage services as well as volunteers who aided in cleaning each animal (below right).

My g-pig Zeek came from the Metro South shelter. He was one of 30 g-pigs that were surrendered last spring - lots of babies. : (

I saw this on the MSPCA main site the other day, meant to ask you about it. So sad.....:-(
Evil, evil, evil.
Unfortunately, if I don't have room for a dog I can't foster any piggies (dig, dig John). They are so sweet. It awful that people are so irresponsible!!
I spoke to the GM at Metro South shelter yesterday. They might get some "trickle-down" piggies once they are HEALTHY but expect most of them to stay in the Methuen and Springfield shelter.
What is wrong with most of them? Upper resp?
well, you already know that I have issues with most "two legs". Poor piggies!!
Upper resp., ring worm, malnutrition, feetie infections.
:(
Evil two legs!!
Poor g-pigs
