OMG They arn't stressed and they arn't pressured! I hav a ton of guinea pigs myself and I know when they are stressed and these piggies are not stressed!!!
Obviously they're scared. You open the door too fast, they're scared, you roll over on your bed, they're scared, you turn on the TV, they're scared. God dammit.
How are they being mean? Holding them around the middle? Preventing them from falling and wriggling away? There are recommended ways to hold guinea pigs for general owners, but these are professionals and breeders. They're going to know how to hold the piggies from experience. Besides, they're not made of glass. -.-'
I don't think it's cruel. My three nieces chasing their two guinea pigs around their backyard... now THAT'S cruel. Especially since when they DO catch them, they get squeezed a lot. :P Guinea pigs can run reaaally fast when they want, no drugs needed. Although the three infants chasing them may help.
well yeh thats true,I found out the hard way,I used to live in spain.My guinea pigs lived out doors,It got very very hot.Later on that morning i found my guinea like jelly,She couldn't move but was still alive,She was dehydrated and later on that day died of a heartattack,I have made a video especially for her,Please take the time to look at it.I'm still only getting over hear death :(
That's not inhumane, nor is it cruel. Maybe the training is, but the ones that are just being brought there are just confused. Pressure? What Pressure? They aren't going to feel bad if they lose. Most of them don't even realize they're competing
SephysManda you are wrong, Hermitcrab2006 you are right. They'r indeen under heavy stress and that's why their running. Sephysmanda, if you knew anything of the guinea pig's nature is that, in their natural habitat they have a natural predator, Eagles. They are animals used to run whenever they are on a open field, everything that comes from above, scares them. So yeah, this animals on this video are scared.
I'm rather surprised that guinea pigs can run fast like that. I had a few guinea pigs when I was young & they never were that swift, not even if I placed vegetables 3 ft in front of them.
I have never seen a cavy jump like that. That was incredible.
My girlfriend told me to watch this. Sad to think that Taffy and the other racers are now long gone. Here's to you Taffy, racing piggie Hall of Famer.
I thought I'd seen it all until I saw this!!!!
Who could forget the Great Race of '85?
He didnt jump over it, he ran headfirst in the bar.
lol i love tappy :) aww
he even hurdled
so sweet
:o
That was awesome, the guinea pig that jumped the second bar was cool
SOOOOO CUTE!
SO CUTE, XD some have their own personal tracks !
I hear that taffy popped the clutch in second thus caused a jump! ;)
So cute,Right i'm signing my guinea pigs up for a race lol
Everyone must have a hobby. It's no different than how anyone treats any animal, it's just done in different ways.
What is that snake at 0:36 doing at a Guinea pig race?
my piggie would sit there looking at me like,"Where the wheep is my cucumber?"
My guine pig would sit there chewing leftover timothy hay.... then he would waddle a couple steps xD
awww poor babies, i know if any of my guinea pigs were there they'd be terrified of the noise :P
omg that is just sick making guinea pigs run i would never do that lol
OMG They arn't stressed and they arn't pressured! I hav a ton of guinea pigs myself and I know when they are stressed and these piggies are not stressed!!!
he is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute! i wish my guinea pig could do that, that would be so cool. go taffy
That Taffy is just about the fastest guinea pig I've ever seen.
lol...they love to run. They just do. They are like: LOL RUN WHEEE..
ours would LOVE to do that XD
"they're the ones who don't quite know what to do" ROFLMAO
My old guinnea pig could've kicked they're butts... >.> But this is just so CUTE! Take them back home and give them some treats ^^
this is the most exciting sport in the world! There's big money bet on this - fortunes made & lost...
HAHAHAHAAA LOL!!! its so funny and cute when taffy runs!!!

How are they being mean? Holding them around the middle? Preventing them from falling and wriggling away?

LOL I noticed him too.
Looks kinda like a punk lol.
Why in the heck did you have a guinea pig racing video?
Omfg Tappy's a speedjunkie. The other piggies looked like snails.
look at that piggy fly!
On second thought, they serve another function too. Food.
wow that one on the right was like hyper
hmmm, i don't think they were too happy about that, but they seem to enjoy it
Haha! Look at the little guys go! :D
You're right. It's fucking hilarious! :D
Holy shit that is one fast fer ball way to go tapy
My GP would fit right in there with the winner. She's faster than lightning when she runs across the floor :D
Yeah, Taffy was enjoying her/himself very much. It was obvious
Aw thats sad.
Its kinda cruel.
:[
i own 2 guinea pigs and i would never do that even if somebody was to give me 100 dollars.
wow thts a fast guinea pig
that is 1 fast guinea pig
thats so cool i do guinea pig 4 h and my pig is going to race
"five years legally" what the?
My piggie can swim!!! Go Cinnamon!
Originally kept for eating I believe.
I don't think it's cruel. My three nieces chasing their two guinea pigs around their backyard... now THAT'S cruel. Especially since when they DO catch them, they get squeezed a lot. :P

00:36: Does the man's snake eat the loosing guinea pig?
O_O HOLY SHIT.

But all the same wtf is up with guinea pig racing?
Taffy is my hero! ^_^
well yeh thats true,I found out the hard way,I used to live in spain.My guinea pigs lived out doors,It got very very hot.Later on that morning i found my guinea like jelly,She couldn't move but was still alive,She was dehydrated and later on that day died of a heartattack,I have made a video especially for her,Please take the time to look at it.I'm still only getting over hear death :(
he's flying :D:D
well, that's not so bad, consider it as a veiled incentive
The only thing funnier then this vid is the people getting upset over how 'crule' it is. XD
That's not inhumane, nor is it cruel. Maybe the training is, but the ones that are just being brought there are just confused. Pressure? What Pressure? They aren't going to feel bad if they lose. Most of them don't even realize they're competing
look at em go

Woo!
Guinea piggies on steroids!!
They should make this into an olympic event.
that's what my sister said, and that's why we have 2 fat, happy piggies today.
I know I swiched to Guinea Pigs because hamsters bite to much and they die to easily
The only reason animals exist is to entertain me. I don't give a shit if they're scared or not.
I'm rather surprised that guinea pigs can run fast like that. I had a few guinea pigs when I was young & they never were that swift, not even if I placed vegetables 3 ft in front of them.
GO TAFFY GO!
he reminded me of neo in the matrix
1:10-1:14 is so cool!!!!!
looks like they are flicking them with their finger on the way out, ouch for the animals :(
(sorry sora, I deleted the other stupid spam 'do this or you'll never have a crush' chain-comment, then realised this would be left hanging...)
OMG, GUEINI PIGS RACING, (:
go taffy go! xD
i hate how the hold them in the beginning...am i the only one? hope not
Why are you laughing dude? Guinea pigs could run way faster than you, person!!!! Why'd that guy take a snake there?! These guinea pigs were so CUTE!!
