      I have always just 1 pair of rabbits and their property is about 3qm indoor plus 8qm outdoor with a cat-door. In Summer another 12qm. They were scheduled to slaughter aged 3 and 5 years. Guess mother and son.

    In my experience with horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, I have found that older people (typically men) will never accept that they are doing anything wrong. This was the way they've been doing it their entire lives and everything is perfectly fine. Even in the last 10 years small animal care has come so far from what it used to be. It's sad that there are people who refuse to learn anything new, even if it would make their animals happier.

      Bunnies go downhill fast. Once you notice they're sick it's often already too late. We had a close call with my friend's rabbit and it was only as good an outcome as it was because I had noticed IMMEDIATELY that he wasn't eating like he should be when I went to feed him in the morning. We had him into the vet within and hour or so (and most of that was driving time!) and we caught the problem before he went into full Stasis. Even catching it that quick (he had eaten his dinner fine the night before, this was only 12 hours later!) he still had to stay overnight at the vet for observation to make sure he recovered.

He didn't seem to care crap that the boys get among the females and he doesn't even have enough money to feed them all. He surely must know how fast these animals breed. Situations like this makes me the most angry, lazy, careless people and specially considering all the shelters are already more than full. It's not even the people causing this that makes me angry (I mean I don't know the full situation, maybe the person has dementia, mental illness) but just the whole situation and that likely lot of these animals will never find a good home and die in the shelter or put down.

      He seemed to just be an older working class guy. I’ve seen some things in my life that I’d be quick to judge (animal cases) but when you get down to the nitty gritty, we are spoiled with knowledge that the older generation doesn’t have. I believe he did try, because to fully neglect them, there would be no hay down, no hides whatsoever, never any water, and they’d all be so skinny you’d see all of their bones and dead buns and pigs everywhere. It is a sad case but it could’ve been a whole different case if he was completely neglectful. He should’ve got them fixed that is on him, but saying they weren’t fed is a weird take on the video. He’s just an older guy, he could’ve completely abandoned all of them there’s so many takes he could’ve had that would’ve been far worse.

    I felt this frustration and anger with my ex (thus she’s my ex now). She more than once called me “meticulous” for the care of my snakes and spiders. I would daily check humidity levels and temperatures, weekly water cleans and changes and kept close tabs on feeds and snake weights. The same person who called me “meticulous” was the person who kept her snakes in way too small enclosures with no heat no humidity and some without any water. She had dead lizards and dead spiders. And I’m the meticulous one. At least I properly care for my animals.

      @@knotsoangelic Care? Where was care? Uneducated is uncaring. When you have pets, their lives are in YOUR hands. If you don't learn how to take care of them, this shit happens. It is EASY to research, everyone has access to technology these days. They had phones or computers, they could have researched it. They could have went to their local library and used those computers too. But they didn't, they didn't learn the most BASIC shit about those guinea pigs. That is abuse and neglect. These guinea pigs and rabbits were neglected, neglect is abuse. They weren't cared for at all. If they cared, they would have never let it get this out of control. They would have researched and learned as soon as possible, but they failed to do so. Having pets is like having kids, you can't just have them without learning about them. If you saw someone with multiple children running around with dirty diapers in a dirty house without any decent food, water, or care, would you say that same thing? No, you wouldn't, you would agree that it is abusive and neglective and that they do not care. You clearly don't care either.

A "true abuser" is someone who does not care for the lives of other creatures who depend on them, that's him. He can't claim to care about them & then treat them like this. He might not hit them or anything (as far as we know) but neglect is still a form of abuse.

      I think I researched for 3-4 months before getting my piggies and even then I'm still learning. But it's definitely true! The two girls I got for my neutered boar were cooped up in a small hutch in the dark and went into gi stasis within a day of being with me because the sounds and lights etc were overwhelming. I got them straight to an emergency vet and syringe fed them for over a week until they were better.

    This is honestly the hardest to accept for younger people in general - that some (usually older) people really are unbelievably uneducated, nor do they even seek out the knowledge for themselves. They don't even know how to access the resources we have now, or have no interest in them. This goes for everything, not just animal care but also culture, geography, politics, health. We are the smartest (to a fault) generation to have ever lived, and also most compassionate towards animals, because the value of education and sustainability have been ingrained in us since the 80s/90s. But it wasn't always like that, and for us it's hard to understand that a lot of people really don't know anything but the things they've been doing their whole lives.

      I'm not sure if guinea pigs can be spayed and some people also don't do that to rabbits if they're kind of skittish so they don't die under surgery. But you can simply keep them separate.

      1. “just spay and neuter” like anyone can afford that nowadays. You can keep them separated it’s easier. 2. I got a different vibe from this man - loving, but knows he can’t care for them anymore. He sounded old I bet he didn’t even see the conditions of the rabbits and pigs esp with how many there were.
      This comment section should be grateful he ever reached out instead of literal death threats to the guy. There’s a silver lining and noones seeing it and it’s cringe as hell.

    While things were horrible, they could have been a lot worse. It almost feels worse when you know the owners were clearly trying and caring rather than hoarding just for the sake of it. To be in a position where you care and are trying to do the right thing, only for your 'care' to actually be causing more harm than good would put me in such a bad mental place. I really hope the owner will educate himself and learn to take care for the ones he has left properly :(
    Happy you managed to get all the females and rabbits though, and that half lop was adorable! I really loved the hamster-like baby piggie, oh my god they were so cute lol

    Austin, you are truly the definition of an amazing young man. I could see that this rescue was taking a lot out of you, but yet you continued to persevere and rescue as many as you could. When you placed all the piggies in the temporary cage and then fed them the fresh veggies and pellets, just watching them happily eating brought tears to my eyes. I wish that each one of these precious piggies and bunnies could find an immediate loving home, but I know that isn't possible. I'm just happy that they are now safe and will be cared for properly. Thank you for taking them out of that less than ideal place and giving them a chance at their forever homes. I have such admiration for you and the other rescuers who give of their time and energy to help those who cannot help themselves.

    It honestly looks like he did try his best, sad that he didn't do better research into care though. I love how there wasn't any judgements or anger towards him, I normally wouldn't feel any sympathy towards animal neglecting owners but he seemed to have good intentions but was overwhelmed. Although since he's old he may not have known about all the social media husbandry and care groups that give advice or support for education. Glad the piggies and rabbits are getting proper care ❤

      Has he bred all these animals? That's what makes me the most frustrated and angry, how does that even happen, only laziness because clearly he has not enough money and resources to even feed them all. He sounded so whatever when he said sometimes a male just get among the females, then you do something about it. Okay it may happen once or maybe even twice but here it must have happened lots of times. It's so frustrating considering how fast these animals breed, he totally put himself and the innocent animals in this situation.

We had 3 dogs at the time and my australian wouldn't let them be. So i decided to give them away, before these poor souls got a heart attack. My brother was pissed that i didn't take any money, i will never understand how some people can be this cruel and blind to the situation.

      Well sometimes these animals are also considered livestock not pets so it's fine to keep them that way as long as you're providing them water and food the USDA does not have very strict qualifications for how you keep animals especially if you're going to use them for food. But don't be too harsh on people because unless you don't eat meat then most animals aren't kept like a child would be
