Noticed someone giving away their guinea pigs with a hutch, bedding and food, due to changed circumstances, seems like a caring ad, but they just clearly haven't thought about taking them to a rescue, so i replied to her add with some names and numbers of local rescues and urged her to take them to a rescue rather than give them away through freecycle, giving her some worst case scenarios of what could happen by doing it through freecycle, i really hope she listens and takes my advice. :(
 
Pretty much. :( Its so sad, but atleast they did seem like they cared and maybe just wernt aware of rescues. :)
 
It's nice to know that people from this forum are making a small difference by noticing and informing these advertisers about the existence of piggy rescue centres. Every little helps!
 
thanks for the responses, that was the second time i had to report a post relating to guinea pigs, and i emailed the person as above on both occassions. Didn't have any responses though :( however both ad's soon disappeared, whether it was because i reported them or the people saw sense and followed advise i guess i will never know.

Sadly i saw this this morning

http://groups.freecycle.org/norwichukfreecycle/posts/16332515/DOG (STAFF/BOXER)

So i did the same thing, reported it and emailed the person asking them to contact a rescue or such to ensure he gets a loving caring home, i also said sadly these type of dogs often fall into the wrong hand and get mistreated and abused, which i am sure they wouldn't want on the conscience, and advertising him on a free website could end up disastrous. (i know that sadly all breeds of dogs are at a risk of such horrible things but i feel, statement dogs such as staffies, rotties for example have a higher risk due to the owners they sometimes fall into the hands of)

Hopefully they will also follow my advice.
 
The Ad has been removed! But i think you can still see it if you click on the link.
 
good for you toffeewoffee, we must all stand up for animal welfare and try to do our bit even if it means getting the authorities involved. pookie
