Hi all just have to let off some steam!

I got to this house to look at the 'female' piggies and straight away I was concerned the man took me through his side porch to my surprise I find a cage with chipmonks in he doesn't know how many mmmm, then he unlocks his door to a shed of some sort I find bunnies in there all in cages and they were huge bunnies! I turn around to see a cage with piggies in bless them the lady opened it with a hammer? she tried to grab them they were having none of it so I helped out. The cages of all animals had been cleaned but I could see this was for my benefit as the cages themselves were awful they had furr on the cagey bit, they stank and I could see huge wet patches where they had obviously been left for sometime in soiled shavings the shed floor was blinkin awful. The bloke said some story about the piggies were left with him I was thinking this doesn't add up its changed since I was on the phone mmmmm, so I say yes I will have them, as I leave I notice this guy has aviaries full of birds and chickens he tells me he used to sell animals at the local market but they dint do it any more the lady then turns round and says oh I can get back to breeding rabbits now :'( :'( their little girl wanted to let the all bunnies out while I was there How can people get away with this? There was absolutely no space for anything to move no garden as it was taken up by cages and animals even the front garden had Aviary's in it and a huge pond!

Well the 'females' are boys and it was obvious they breed for them so they needed to get rid :( I got them in the car and checked their fur and oh my god they were riddled with mites so I have had to bath the poor little things as it was too awful I hope they will get over the shock :( so there Rant over sorry its a long one but I am just sooooo angry! >:(
 
awww thats sooo awful :( Why do people do this to animals? I dont get it :( The poor little souls - At least now those piggies have got a loving home with you

Well done you and can't wait to see pigtures when the little darlings are up for it x :smitten:
 
Oh dear! Thats so horrible >:( Those poor animals :(
I dont know what to say... I would have hated to seen the state of them >:(
 
I forgot to mention they will have to be rehomed I would have kept them if they were girls , I just do not have room for boars :( but I will find them a good loving home I promise I knew I couldnt leave them there! :'(
 
Its the best thing to do I think... if you dont have the room... at least theyre away from that awful place >:(
 
Well done! But why not phone the RSPCA,i did for a rabbit/guinea pig petting farm but you could see that they were breeding and there just was tooo many piglies in a cage,mummy bunnies with 5-6 babies in small hutch! The inspector even phoned me back the next day to say thanks and wished more people would just phone!Its worth a try!
 
Yep I agree :) its good to get the piggies out of there but its even better to rescue them all :)
 
Just out of interest why can't you keep them because they are boars? I'm not criticising - just curious :) I know a lot of people aren't so keen on keeping boars but I have all mine paired and they get on fine. How many have you got for re-homing?

Agree. This place sounds terrible. I see it as your duty as a human being to call the RSPCA. I am so angry, I can not put it into words. Take into consideration the animals they have now are not the only ones to suffer, generation after generation could suffer it there is no responsible breeding going on, which clearly there is not. They are just doing it for profit. Well done for taking them. O0
 
well done to you.

i hate people that do that to animals, dont treat them properly, i could throttle them.

you did good.

well done.
 
Ring the RSPCA now and report them give their address it will be checked out :tickedoff:people like that should be reported it sounds awfull.
 
I will be ringing the RSPCA just want to make sure they are ok and settle them in then I will work out what I am going to say. I got them from a free ad that said 2 female guinea pigs need a new home so I was going to have a look what ever as these ads concern me a little as you dont know who will take them and good job I did take them as if they were put in with girls I hate to imagine what would happen.

Furry friends I have 2 boars already in one hutch and 3 girls in another and a neutered male recovering after his op in my house he will be joining the girls when he is better. I have a spare hutch incase the local Dogs home want me to foster some piggies these 2 are now in there, my hubby has said no more unless they are going to be rehomed so thats why they will need a new forever home. ;)

Could you not just rehome hubby instead? :laugh:

I hope you soon find lovely homes for them. At least they are safe now! :)
 
;D ;D ;D LMAO ;D ;D ;D

Just suggested that to hubby he laughed and gave me that STILL NO look !
 
Stop it I cant stop laughing ;D ! I cannot believe you have 22 :o you lucky thing, gosh hubby would have a fit lmao!
 
Oh I agree they love me unconditionally well on one condition that is food ;) Men are too much trouble they moan and whinge oh the list could go on lol :D
 
oh goodness - Its horrible when you go into a situation you are not really expecting. Shaz Sars & I went into one of these and as a result ended up with the 'swamp pigs'! Do report them - it sounds horrendous :'(

Where are you based & what are the boars like?
 
Pics are now in the gallery I am in Bristol. They are lovely looking boys I will just check again that they are boars but I am pretty sure, they were a little unhappy about me checking yesterday bless!
 
:( I hope the bunnies get out of there before they use them as baby machines :'(
