sorry if this is someones piggies but i would never do that to piggies they would freaze.
 
Maybe message the person who posted it. It's disgusting... Do they not know how to look after guinea pigs? Lets hope they weren't out for more then 5-10 minutes.
 
That is totally disgusting. Some people have no common sense. We could give them the benefit of the doubt in that they might have thought it was good for them to get some grass and a bit of a run but really what were they thinking.
 
Could you contact the person by email to let them know that they run the risk of these poor guineas dying. Some pepole are so irresponsiblepow-pow
 
Do you know the scariest thing ... theres more than two quite a few piggies .... It looks like they live like that all year round! Some ppl are not educated in keeping animals ..
The thing is to put that video on utube they obviously want ppl to see the piggies ..

When I first saw it was pigs out in the snow, I could come up with possible explanations (albeit none that I myself would use). But for pigs to be snowed on is another matter. Way too cold for pigs!
 
The worst thing is that these people obviously do not even know what there doing!
 
This is just a HUGE no no. >.< I hate that some people dont do the research on their animals before getting them. :)>>> Or even if its just an ignorant parent who doesnt care what their kids do. grrrr
 
I put Wigat out in the snow the other day when he was yelping to go out

He loved it and used it to wash himself..brought him back in after 2mins and wrapped him in a towel
 
thank you for bringing this to our attention, I have posted this message on you tube

OMG, please take these guinea pigs in, either in a shed or indoors. They should not be outside at all till the temperatures pick up. THis is cruel even for a few minutes. Totally irresponsible.
 
there is another video

well done to gawashelter whose good comments are on there.

what these people are doing is soooo cruel
 
Poor little piggies. The one where they are in the run is misguided definatly but the person just dropping them in the snow :( thats just cruel. Poor little darlings.
 
the other video posted poor little piggies they didnt want to jump into that snow if it was even deeper they would of gone under poor lil things.
 
what the hell, not only is that person subjecting their animals to the freezing cold, they are actively pushing the pigs off their knee :S how awful can you get. Completely unecessary and cruel. Those poor little animals must have been terrified as well as frozen!
 
I cant bear to look - same as the hamster article.

Poor pets - some people shouldn't be allowed. :(
 
I'm freezing just looking at those awful vid's, it's a shame people who are so obviously clueless can have animals at all.
