I believe contacting the reporter was smart. The more public this story is the harder it will be for the organization responsible for the animals to hold back information. Trust your gut. Thank you for all you are doing.
Given multiple animals died between the time the first 40 were surrendered and the authorities arrested the couple, they should not be giving any animals back to those people. They proved they are not to be trusted. If only all people took the time to learn good care, and then take time to actually give that care. Keep up the good work, Scott!!
Just when you think that these precious piggies have been rescued and are safe, something like this comes up. You did the right thing by talking with the reporter. The story is changing so much that you can't help but think that you are being lied to. Thank you, Scott, and everyone else who is not just accepting the word of this rescue. I really agree with you, Scott, this situation has to be handled with utmost care and diplomacy. As angry as we all are, the first priority is the guinea pigs. We don't want to do anything that would jeopardize their safety. I pray that they are all safe and no harm has come to them.
Just wanted to let others know I live in Colorado and just recently there was more then 500 Guinea pigs rescued from being fed to birds of prey from a local breeder, they are in very poor conditions. The animal rescue Cavies and Canines is located in Northern Colorado and are in need of help!
Yes that is also a very sad situation and they do need lots of help if you are in that area or willing to donate. You can reach out to them through the rescue list on my website or by searching Cavies and Canines. They have a Facebook page
You are not stirring the pot. you are being proactive after the 318 in SD. I am so glad you are on here telling everybody. I know we need to do something but not sure what the right thing is. I think maybe putting media pressure on and making it a public event is a good idea
Thank you! Sending you strength and the best of luck for a fortunate turn of events from over the pond (Germany). You work tirelessly and with love and dedication. Rescue work is very demanding and many times heartbreaking. It takes something to keep up the good spirits. You do. I have so much respect for you and all of your rescue team 🧡 ... and hello to Onyx! what a lovely little handful one 😇
This is so gut wrenching. Those poor guinea pigs I hate that happened to them. It makes me want to cry those guinea pigs should have never gone through that. How could someone be so cruel and feed them to reptiles??? those guinea pigs had to feel the worst and most terffying stress and pain. This hurts me so bad I have two guinea pigs. 😰😰😰😰😰💔💔💔
I am physically sick at my stomach. 🤢 Thank GOD, thank GOD, Scotty you kept pushing on this issue. It makes me want to come/go and find all the guinea pigs I can and start my own shelter. I am telling you, when we are homebound, I will have more than two. 😢😢
Thank you for listening to your gut Scotty. This turns my stomach. The LA Guinea Pig Rescue, Scotty’s animals, and a few others have made me certain that this is what my husband and I plan to do with our retirement. Rescue Guinea pigs, try to find them permanent homes, but be certain that our adopted guinea pigs are returned to us if circumstances change. I grew up with Guinea pigs, and I grew up on a 3 acre farm. During Covid, we accidentally had 3 litters of babies ( we thought we adopted a group of 4 girls, one was a boy who is now neutered). We are in touch with all of the babies born in our home. Thank you for tracking down people who lie, and send Guinea pigs to reptile breeders. We need more people like you, and someday I hope to be one. So do my kids. You are really making a difference Scotty. Thank you!
I desperately hope this is a multiple tier communications issue and they are ok. Poor piggies deserve a happy chapter after being saved. With how that past incident with the reptiles went it’s incredibly reasonable that this community to want to check in on things.
Im not over that incident with the Arizona shelter animals 😢 how could people be so cruel those were peoples pets who were promised they would go to a good home!
I just looked at their website (2pm CDT) and there are 8 Guinea pigs listed from the 3/30/24 confiscation. They don’t look very healthy (as would be expected from a hoarding situation).
Education is the key my friend. Since I cannot do what I would like to do. I do visit the pet stores and stay for a while so that when someone comes in to try and buy a guinea pig I talk (sweetly) to them, tell them about my piggies and refer them to your channel. So far I have not been kicked out of these stores.
Hmmm, what about printing the guidelines for taking care of guinea pigs and just leaving them in various places. Scotty, I would keep your name out of it.
Glad you are going with your gut Scotty. Whats so hard for them to just be transparent? Gods i feel so helpless being abroad. Onyx ❤. From the bottom of all our hearts thank you Scotty for your tireless work 🎉
Thankyou for bringing this to our attention..... I can't believe how irresponsible either the shelter is, or the, authorities are, or both. These are living creatures, how horrible this is!! But you are right, this must be handled within the law. I really hope for these animals that they're all safe.
Oh my God, Scotty. That's awful 🙄. I hope the missing guinea pigs are somehow still alive. You're doing such a wonderful job. I hope the truth of what happened to them soon becomes known. God bless you, Saskia and all those who do so much for these lovely little animals. I hope this situation has a happy ending 🙏🙏🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹
I hope you can get to the bottom of this all (once again). I love that Casey is digging in her heels. She is not to be messed with! I commend her and everyone who is going the extra mile to ensure the safety of these piggies and the other animals (dogs, birds, turtles, bunnies, etc.). I want to say there has to be a way to educate people to stop this kind of thing but people do so many things to other people, so they probably think it is even easier to do it to a defenseless animal. Whatever the reason, thank you Scotty and I am sorry for that look of worry, frustration, anger, sadness you have on your face in this video. I sent another $50 to you. I will always do so periodically to do whatever I can from thousands of miles away to help in my little way! Btw, on a more heartening and happy note, I think Onyx was telling you in his small way @16:18 that he gobbled up all his pellets. He is such a sweetheart!
Accountability 100%, no negotiation. Put the pressure on the shelter for answers. Even if they say they can't say anything due to the legal matter, then say so. Silence breeds suspicion and that leads to contempt. It would be great to get some news agencies involved in all animal welfare cases. People need to be aware and attitudes need to change toward animals. Putting these stories in people's faces may change animal welfare for the better. We rescuers are killing ourselves to save these precious lives while so many people don't care and would just toss them away. Humans need to do better!
If it's a court situation, they should be able to furnish court documents (with defendant names redacted if necessary) showing that they can't adopt them out, or they should be able to forward you to the animal control officer in charge of the case. I would personally reach out to all local news outlets if they can't furnish those things!
OMG... my first thought was what happened in SD. I am in San Diego and a bunny mom and most of my bunnies came from House Rabbit Society but one of them was from SDHS. I was devastated by the missing 318 and will never trust SDHS again.
I'm in Tucson and will not trust Southern Arizona Humane Society. I used to adopt from them and shop at their thrift store. Tucson Police really didn't do much.
@@atreb56 I feel the same way about SDHS. they all pretended to be the victims and the police did nothing. But these shelters take public and private funds and are entrusted to take care of these animals. I don't understand how they have not been abusive of their charter and how they represent the money people donate is being used.
Jeez Scotty, my heart is in my stomach after hearing this turn of events. Yes, pressure needs to be on to find out what's going on asap. You've done the right thing! Every single shelter and animal society needs to be checked on and all movements of animals documented clearly. Why couldn't these people have just said we'll send a photo or video and send you to prove they're still there? Or like you say, if it's to do with the ongoing investigation, just say so. There's no need for them to be rude and unhelpful at all. Shame on them. I really hope and pray these babies are safe and well. 🙏
Heart breaking that animals get treated like this. Absolutely horrifying what happened to the piggies. 😢 What really bothers me to no end is how abuse like this continues and the right people who need to create meaningful change and legislation still think they are less than shit. Humans domesticated guinea pigs, dogs, cats, livestock etc...and have a responsibility to care for them and treat them with the utmost respect as it is our fault they can't survive in the wild without human intervention. Crimes like this will continue until there are real penalties and people are walked into prison for a long time sadly and I hate it. For now, media attention may be the best course. Scotty you look exhausted and I'm sure the LA rescue staff are exhausted and over worked with all those new mamas to be. Don't forget to take care of yourselves.❤
im glad that a rescue who managed to take in guinea pigs in VERY bad spot. dead guinea pigs, even a baby on top of bedding. were taken in by a rescue and not a shelter. they even ran out of carriers etc, but so many stepped up. even austin guinea pig rescue offered help
All we can do is wait and trust that this will not turn out like the other situation. And also know that all the local news channels are investigating and know about these latest developments
Oh Scotty, it's so hard, but I feel contacting the reporter was a great way to keeping the public aware of what is going on.When the public knows, then it's hard to hide and I think When Fenella made a short about the missing ---she made an impact and maybe another one out there to pressure and get the truth out there on tik tok.
I agree no harm going to find out once and for all this is really sickening scotty you need to keep going and getting reporters on to this and keep putting pressure on these people
Cotacting the reporter was the correct path to take. KVOA in Tucson led the 318 plus story here. The officials didn't do much here though. Protests do work sometimes but ppl should never harass others at home etc. Thanks for your concerns for these innocent animals.
Idk what I could personally do to help but contact the police and let them know there are still animals missing and any other information you may have on their whereabouts.
Something is definitely not right. Shame on The Animal Foundation! It’s also really concerning that they may have adopted some of these out to the public. All of the females are likely pregnant and need to be on pregnancy watch. There was also quite a bit of ringworm in the group of 38 that Ann took in so my bet is on the others having it as well. Lastly I’m sure the majority of those pigs are malnourished. It’s irresponsible of the shelter to have adopted any of them out. These animals have been through too much, humans keep letting them down😢 The Animal Foundation has no idea who they’re up against, we WILL get to the bottom of this.
Maybe try to find out places that use piggies as bait and try to fool these people such as finding out through people who are not a threat to find out the truth.
WTF is going on!!! Aren't these places vetted! This is so out of control. Do we have to send you or Saskia to every event to personally escort every animal? Small animals get treated like dirt. They would never treat dogs like this!
There needs to be more vetting of people who run shelters, rescues, and humane societies. We've had issues here in PA. If there was a stay on adoptions then Saskia would probably have been notified not to adopt any out. It honestly doesn't seem good. See if there is a livestock lawyer or a sympathic lawyer who will write a letter on your behalf. It might safely stir the pot enough to get some answers. Or at least send a message that your serious about the issue.
People are driven by money. There are only a few people who move with their hearts. People with good hearts and people with bad hearts. There are only two types of humans. I want to be neutral, but there are too many ugly people to keep it that way, which makes me sad. Thank you for your activities.
I don’t get it. Why the dishonesty? That kind of behavior is just suspicious. Staying after them will definitely help. Thanks for working so hard to help them ❤
Hella sus. Great to get the media involved. I think animal control or the media need to be allowed to take pictures of them all and confirm their location. It’s too late now for them to just say oh we can’t tell you. They need to confirm their safety and care.
l think they lied to try and cover their tracks but to be a good lier you have to tell more lies it's hard to know what you can do l hope you get a resolution for what is going on with the mess that person has created stay positive Scotty l hope you find an answer xx
Hoarding cases are complicated. From what I understand when the animals are confiscated there's a 'waiting period'. The owner/s have to go through the legal system which can take some time. They can challenge the confiscation or officially surrender the animals. If & when the animals are surrendered then they will be available for adoption. Now, you say the animals are at a private facility & they may not understand the process. So, they may have accidentally adopted some of the animals out but found out they weren't suppose to. I wouldn't continue to call them. They will reach out when there's a conclusion. You can't compare this situation to the #missing318. Every story is different. I understand you're concerned but you have to be patient.
I'm wondering if there is a lawsuit - is there a gag order on the entire case. This would explain why no one will confirm/deny/explain anything in this situation.
I went into a deep dive a while ago on shelters and related topics, snd lying isn't super unusual. Like, shelters will lie abour the breed or history of a dog to try and get it adopted -- liken pretend a pit bull isn't (which i like pits, but people need to know the breed for legal issues) or the dog is a more desirable breed. Then there's isssues around gatekeeping (requiring people use specific food brand for example, which can be financially inaccessible to which then excludes those in lower income brackers, which then sorts becomes a bit a racism issue since due to demographics of income levels) Then there's a few shelters that are likely just corrupt/shams -- there's a lot of money in non-profits/donations, and crappy people will use that. Then there's the whole issue on sterilization and years of research connecting reducing hormones with mental health issues and possibly increased health issues in some species/breeds, and not conveying the risks to owners when providing thst care nor providing alternative ways to sterilize, and use of studies that fail to account for basic stuff like income (intact animals more common in low income households, which does have increased risks to health for a multiple complex reasons. Example: two big drivers for lower lifespan of intact dogs are infection and truana/car hits... Low income people tend to be rural/further from vets, their pets tend to be housed outside more, and they rend to have reduced time at home due to work needs. They also may tend to be larger, which has lower lifespan). But woking in a shelter can be traumatizing and make workers jaded, and may contribute to mistakes abd poor decisions. It's a very tough for workers and volunteers. 🤷♂️
This makes me physically nauseous, these animals have been through way too much already. My heart just breaks. I think u should involve as many people as possible, something is not right.
Scotty, News Nation, Chris Cuomo takes on issues that no other big news show care about. I know they lobe a I'm ls they haf a show about dog adoptions. You may want to get in touch with them. I think if you talk about the ones that wound out food, that would grsb their interest 3:21 about.
😭 I got a piggy from there. They told me it’s a girl. And turned out it’s a boy. I wanted to get a girl b/c I have 2 girls. I mean. I understand sometimes it’s not easy to identify the gender. But for Guinea pigs. It’s very very important to identify the gender. What if I put that male one with my 2 girls?
You will not like this !😢but for some reason there are also people who do not like them so Much as you (we) Not every gpig lives a long life 😢😢😢 You are a non kill centre there are others 😢😢😢
It's so disheartening. I'm just going to call you & the teams of guinea rescuers the "Patron Saints of The Guineas!" The problem is that no one knows and for some people in the world, these precious loves are only seen as a food source like chickens & cattle....and until animals are treated as sovereign beings, there will always be concern for where they go to & for what purpose. Continued prayers for those babies....🙏🙏🙏
Yes it is like a soap opera and we cannot understand why they are lying. The tldr is that they said that all the animals are there and cannot be adopted because of an ongoing investigation. But six of them have been adopted and they told me that they were not adopted from that group even though we have proof that they were

They proved they are not to be trusted. If only all people took the time to learn good care, and then take time to actually give that care. Keep up the good work, Scott!!
Sadly we still need to go through procedures. This means the animals need to be held until it's resolved.
Something is obviously wrong with the couple, they could have dementia or a mental illness.
Just when you think that these precious piggies have been rescued and are safe, something like this comes up. You did the right thing by talking with the reporter. The story is changing so much that you can't help but think that you are being lied to. Thank you, Scott, and everyone else who is not just accepting the word of this rescue.

Just wanted to let others know I live in Colorado and just recently there was more then 500 Guinea pigs rescued from being fed to birds of prey from a local breeder, they are in very poor conditions. The animal rescue Cavies and Canines is located in Northern Colorado and are in need of help!
Yes that is also a very sad situation and they do need lots of help if you are in that area or willing to donate. You can reach out to them through the rescue list on my website or by searching Cavies and Canines. They have a Facebook page
500?! 😨 thx for sharing!
Yes another tragic situation
To honor the #missing318 I say keep the pressure on. Be civil, but be firm. Keep it up Scotty. Thank you for fighting on the front line here.
What happened to them is just devastating 😢
You are not stirring the pot. you are being proactive after the 318 in SD. I am so glad you are on here telling everybody. I know we need to do something but not sure what the right thing is. I think maybe putting media pressure on and making it a public event is a good idea
You are right to continue to press. If this community doesn't find out, who will? Thank you for being a continual advocate.
Thank you! Sending you strength and the best of luck for a fortunate turn of events from over the pond (Germany). You work tirelessly and with love and dedication. Rescue work is very demanding and many times heartbreaking. It takes something to keep up the good spirits. You do. I have so much respect for you and all of your rescue team 🧡
... and hello to Onyx! what a lovely little handful one 😇
Thank you so much Martina! ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you Kat!
Thank you for being a voice for the voiceless. No matter what happens you are doing everything you can to help ❤️!

I see a most BEAUTIFUL guinea pig on the floor by his right arm. It look just like a lamb. Good guinea pig, so pretty!
Fizz and Fuzz! Fuzz is the Teddy ☺️
Oh my gosh, yes!! So cute, I love the all white with the little black face ❤️
Oh my God, Scotty. That's awful 🙄. I hope the missing guinea pigs are somehow still alive. You're doing such a wonderful job. I hope the truth of what happened to them soon becomes known.

What? Omg 😳 this is very upsetting Scotty 😭 thank you for sharing and thank you for all you do for these little angels
Here to hope they will be alright please keep up the good work thank you so much for what you do.
Скотти спасибо большое было интересно ❤
im glad that a rescue who managed to take in guinea pigs in VERY bad spot. dead guinea pigs, even a baby on top of bedding. were taken in by a rescue and not a shelter. they even ran out of carriers etc, but so many stepped up. even austin guinea pig rescue offered help
Keep it civil, but consistent. call, write, encourage reporters to continue to cover the story.
Onyx is saying "Dad pay attention to me!"
Thank you Scotty for continuing the fight!!
Thanks for update.
OMG, I’m crying right now. Really not sure how I will sleep tonight 😢
All we can do is wait and trust that this will not turn out like the other situation. And also know that all the local news channels are investigating and know about these latest developments
To answer your questions, YES to all questions!
Scotty, my heart goes out to all animals. Its very upsetting to hear.
Angie🥲😇
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Thank you for all you're doing!
Oh Scotty, it's so hard, but I feel contacting the reporter was a great way to keeping the public aware of what is going on.When the public knows, then it's hard to hide and I think When Fenella made a short about the missing ---she made an impact and maybe another one out there to pressure and get the truth out there on tik tok.
I sure hope that the piggies are found soon I have 4 guinea pigs that I ❤️ love very much good video
KEEP PUSHING, find out the information!.
Keep fighting the good fight! Don't let those shelters off the hook.
Why doesn’t someone go there and just say they want to see all the guinea pigs. Just want to make sure they are there and safe.
I agree no harm going to find out once and for all this is really sickening scotty you need to keep going and getting reporters on to this and keep putting pressure on these people
To me, it sounds like they adopted some out when they weren't supposed to, so now they are trying to cover their mess up.
That's what I was thinking
I'd be really interested to see what we can do as a community to put pressure on this shelter. I've got no ideas but I'm ready to help in any way!
I just checked and they have 28 guineapigs listed
I hope those missing animals are found and information is exposed as to what happened to them..Someone knows what happened!! 😧😢
Cotacting the reporter was the correct path to take. KVOA in Tucson led the 318 plus story here. The officials didn't do much here though. Protests do work sometimes but ppl should never harass others at home etc. Thanks for your concerns for these innocent animals.
I was wondering if this was connected to the san diego situation.
It is not connected but eerily similar. This is the Vegas hoarding situation
Idk what I could personally do to help but contact the police and let them know there are still animals missing and any other information you may have on their whereabouts.
Something is definitely not right. Shame on The Animal Foundation! It’s also really concerning that they may have adopted some of these out to the public.

Maybe try to find out places that use piggies as bait and try to fool these people such as finding out through people who are not a threat to find out the truth.
Onyx and Gus are innocent. They just aren't capable of understanding that obedience to you is a matter of right and wrong. They are funny.
They know what they did
WTF is going on!!! Aren't these places vetted! This is so out of control. Do we have to send you or Saskia to every event to personally escort every animal? Small animals get treated like dirt. They would never treat dogs like this!
There needs to be more vetting of people who run shelters, rescues, and humane societies. We've had issues here in PA. If there was a stay on adoptions then Saskia would probably have been notified not to adopt any out. It honestly doesn't seem good. See if there is a livestock lawyer or a sympathic lawyer who will write a letter on your behalf. It might safely stir the pot enough to get some answers. Or at least send a message that your serious about the issue.
People are driven by money.
There are only a few people who move with their hearts.
People with good hearts and people with bad hearts.
There are only two types of humans.
I want to be neutral, but there are too many ugly people to keep it that way, which makes me sad. Thank you for your activities.
Can you upload exclusive mediafire videos ? Don't have to do it but do it anyways. I'll download them
It's sad what happened. Those people should be in jail.
The original perpetrators are in jail
I don’t get it. Why the dishonesty? That kind of behavior is just suspicious. Staying after them will definitely help. Thanks for working so hard to help them ❤
Hella sus. Great to get the media involved. I think animal control or the media need to be allowed to take pictures of them all and confirm their location. It’s too late now for them to just say oh we can’t tell you. They need to confirm their safety and care.
Is that Micah in Skunks cage?
❤❤❤❤❤
l think they lied to try and cover their tracks but to be a good lier you have to tell more lies it's hard to know what you can do l hope you get a resolution for what is going on with the mess that person has created stay positive Scotty l hope you find an answer xx
If theses piggies are supposedly still at the location then someone (under cover)should go and check if they’re really there or not…
Can the rescues start a go fund me for a lawyer who can help get the babies in safely and placed in the rescues from there?
Do you have an email or IG I can use to get into contact with you for your piggy enterprise advice? Thank you in advance Josh 🖤
I can see a mistake someone assuming the adopted animals were from a different situation
But if that's pointed out to be wrong, you don't double down.
❤
Hoarding cases are complicated. From what I understand when the animals are confiscated there's a 'waiting period'. The owner/s have to go through the legal system which can take some time. They can challenge the confiscation or officially surrender the animals. If & when the animals are surrendered then they will be available for adoption. Now, you say the animals are at a private facility & they may not understand the process. So, they may have accidentally adopted some of the animals out but found out they weren't suppose to. I wouldn't continue to call them. They will reach out when there's a conclusion. You can't compare this situation to the #missing318. Every story is different. I understand you're concerned but you have to be patient.
I'm wondering if there is a lawsuit - is there a gag order on the entire case. This would explain why no one will confirm/deny/explain anything in this situation.
@@jeannineharamoto6658 All parties involved are not allowed to discuss the case while it's ongoing. I doubt there's a lawsuit or gag order.
I went into a deep dive a while ago on shelters and related topics, snd lying isn't super unusual. Like, shelters will lie abour the breed or history of a dog to try and get it adopted -- liken pretend a pit bull isn't (which i like pits, but people need to know the breed for legal issues) or the dog is a more desirable breed. Then there's isssues around gatekeeping (requiring people use specific food brand for example, which can be financially inaccessible to which then excludes those in lower income brackers, which then sorts becomes a bit a racism issue since due to demographics of income levels)
Then there's a few shelters that are likely just corrupt/shams -- there's a lot of money in non-profits/donations, and crappy people will use that.
Then there's the whole issue on sterilization and years of research connecting reducing hormones with mental health issues and possibly increased health issues in some species/breeds, and not conveying the risks to owners when providing thst care nor providing alternative ways to sterilize, and use of studies that fail to account for basic stuff like income (intact animals more common in low income households, which does have increased risks to health for a multiple complex reasons. Example: two big drivers for lower lifespan of intact dogs are infection and truana/car hits... Low income people tend to be rural/further from vets, their pets tend to be housed outside more, and they rend to have reduced time at home due to work needs. They also may tend to be larger, which has lower lifespan).
But woking in a shelter can be traumatizing and make workers jaded, and may contribute to mistakes abd poor decisions. It's a very tough for workers and volunteers. 🤷♂️
Yeah, someone is 100% definitely lying, but about what is the real question.
I hope they didn’t become reptile lunch 😢
This makes me physically nauseous, these animals have been through way too much already. My heart just breaks. I think u should involve as many people as possible, something is not right.
I wish feds investigated the case and arrested all the folks involved
How upsetting!!
Scotty, News Nation, Chris Cuomo takes on issues that no other big news show care about. I know they lobe a I'm ls they haf a show about dog adoptions. You may want to get in touch with them. I think if you talk about the ones that wound out food, that would grsb their interest 3:21 about.
😭 I got a piggy from there. They told me it’s a girl. And turned out it’s a boy. I wanted to get a girl b/c I have 2 girls. I mean. I understand sometimes it’s not easy to identify the gender. But for Guinea pigs. It’s very very important to identify the gender. What if I put that male one with my 2 girls?
I bet you if it was 30 missing rescue dogs, there would be a public outrage 😢
This makes me so MAD‼🤬😡🤬😡😭😭😭😭
I’m so angry at Animal Foundation. Vegas Friends really tried 😞
what the frat is wrong with people
Here we go again. I cannot believe this is happening again. Horrible.
This is so upsetting
This is so disturbing, makes me ill.
You will not like this !😢but for some reason there are also people who do not like them so Much as you (we)
Not every gpig lives a long life
😢😢😢
You are a non kill centre there are others 😢😢😢
It's so disheartening. I'm just going to call you & the teams of guinea rescuers the "Patron Saints of The Guineas!"
The problem is that no one knows and for some people in the world, these precious loves are only seen as a food source like chickens & cattle....and until animals are treated as sovereign beings, there will always be concern for where they go to & for what purpose.
Continued prayers for those babies....🙏🙏🙏
Hard to follow. Why are they lying? Someone go there physically and see wtf is going on
Yes it is like a soap opera and we cannot understand why they are lying. The tldr is that they said that all the animals are there and cannot be adopted because of an ongoing investigation. But six of them have been adopted and they told me that they were not adopted from that group even though we have proof that they were
You do not want me to tell you what the best thing I can do. 🤬
Thanks!
Thank you Justin!
Heart breaking that animals get treated like this. Absolutely horrifying what happened to the piggies. 😢
What really bothers me to no end is how abuse like this continues and the right people who need to create meaningful change and legislation still think they are less than shit. Humans domesticated guinea pigs, dogs, cats, livestock etc...and have a responsibility to care for them and treat them with the utmost respect as it is our fault they can't survive in the wild without human intervention.
Crimes like this will continue until there are real penalties and people are walked into prison for a long time sadly and I hate it. For now, media attention may be the best course.
Scotty you look exhausted and I'm sure the LA rescue staff are exhausted and over worked with all those new mamas to be. Don't forget to take care of yourselves.❤
