Clueless

Casually browsing Reddit, I stumbled upon a thread that I could have screamed at. A lady was questioning if her idea to give her Guinea Pig BREAD may have been a contributing factor to her poor piggies death a few years ago....
This kind of idiotic behaviour makes me so mad, I had to vent. Sorry for my little rant.

It makes me angry too. Some people claim ignorance but for something as basic as finding out what you can feed a guinea pig there is no excuse!

The worst of it was that I had said (nicely) that they could only eat veg, fruit, pellets and hay as they are strictly vegetarian. She then replied with well bread is in a veggies diet...
*shudder*

 

[Flutterby]

Oh my dear lord! She really has no idea does she? Bread can kill a lot of animals! Some people would be dangerous if they had a brain!

That is so sad. One breeder shocked me saying he gave his pigs meat. I said they are vegan and the idiot said well they would not have eaten it then.

 

[Flutterby]

I seriously need to eat healthy stuff to loose weight but I still tuck into a takeaway most nights *shame*. The logic of some people astounds me!

-shakes head-

If a child can get it right how can some adults be so bloody dumb?!

Eeeps some people just shouldn't be around animals.

I'm the same. My fridge is stocked full of healthy veggies and fruits...All for the piggies. We live on pizza and pasta!

That's terrible. Either they're as thick as a plank, or just deliberately being ignorant.

 

[Flutterby]

Yeah my fridge is full of goodies for the piggies too. Then some butter and pork pies for me....

I just can't believe some people see this as ok. Knowing that not to feed your pet is a basic in petcare. Although then again there are people who can't even do that.

 

[gus+walter]

She is now being very rude and swearing at me...This is why I love animals more than most people.

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Such a rude person.

 

[piggyfan]

Oh my god what a rude idiot! I cannot believe somebody is called wheekwheek. That is my username on other forums!

 

[gus+walter]

She's so polite isn't she!

Not in the slightest. But she did call me cute so I've got that going for me, which is nice

 

[Flutterby]

It's ace, I read it and snorted with laughter!

 

[gus+walter]

Oh she's deleted her comments. That's a shame.

 

[piggyfan]

S

Oh she's deleted her comments. That's a shame.

She knew she was rude.

 

[Flutterby]

Perhaps she realised she sounded like a nutcase!

 

[Abbie]

So sad

And the worst part is that it is actually so easy too find a perfect piggie diet online!

 

[Flutterby]

I know! No excuse from her end!

 

[katie-elizabeth]

oh dear me, the ignorance of some people! The person I got my guinea pigs from gave her pigs a mince pie whilst I was there...
