LISTING EXPIRED. Alexandria, VA: Shockingly, two teenagers have lost interest in their guinea pigs. The family is now forced to find homes for two four year old pigs. I hope they have better luck than the overflowing shelters and rescues! Guinea pigs are described as "cute."helpful links: Quality Hay and Pellets in bulk & Pampering your Pig & Cheaper, Larger Cages & Bedding & Essential Guinea Supplies & Proper Diet & Cavy Savvy Vets & "What's Normal?

GRRR Infuriating that people assume that pet ownership and care responsibilities should be placed onto their kids ! Kids cant keep their room clean and get bored with toys in a matter of days what makes you think they will stay the course with a live being ???? If you are getting a pet for your child fine but make sure that its you that takes on the overall care for that pet !
I completely agree with you. Everyone winds up a loser when placing responsibility for a vulnerable animal on someone who isn't guaranteed to step up. The animal gets rehomed, the parents are inconvenienced and annoyed, and the child may feel guilty. Sentient beings are neither a gift, nor a bargaining chip.
I'm worried about Christmas coming up.
