All the top comments are positive ones. I can't see her taking the video down personally even if she sees our comments I didn't use to think Zoe was too bad but I've changed my mind now! Such an irresponsible thing to do when she has so many people who idolise her.
Exactly! If you have such a following you should at least make sure the things you are doing are responsible (When it comes to animals and children, not so much if someone decides to be an idiot and put themselves at risk!)
Yeah :/ I thought she was quite clued up when it comes to things like that, she seems to have done her research on everything else related to the guinea pigs and are normally so well looked after - my sister used to watch all her videos - so it's such a shame to see her doing something like this
Was shown this yesterday by my daughter so sent a response directly to her. Just added a post to the video, my daughter says she suffers anxiety so I stopped short of comparing her to a dentist.
I mean, she did keep her hand under them most of the time unlike the other swimming video doing the rounds... but her piggies were probably stressed out and they can't tell her can they ? You wouldn't do it to a baby would you ?
My friend sent me this earlier today. I can't believe it. I've posted a comment asking her to please remove it and encourage people not to do this with their guinea pigs and explained all the reasons why you shouldn't. So sad. Especially when she has 8 million followers on there. I genuinely worry for piggies across the world
You could always write to her agent and explain the situation - I'm sure they'll look into it as this could be considered bad publicity for her. http://www.gleamfutures.com/
just reported it under youtubes animal abuse section. The other one was bad enough but the fact that such a prolific vlogger is promoting making guinea pigs swim is pretty horrendous!
We have to remember that alot of her followers are very young - so alot of them will just think it's harmless and "cute" especially if they don't know alot about guinea pigs
One of my friends has just posted a video putting her guinea pig in the paddling pool and it swam straight to the sides and couldn't get out and his head went under i commented on it as soon as she uploaded it and she's now taken it down. I just wish people would educate themselves and not just copy things. So frustrating!
I am pretty sure she knows this isnt good for her guinea pigs and just wanted to jump on the publicity bandwagon that the other guinea pig swimming video created. There is nothing genuine about anyone on her videos, all purely focused on getting maximum views. It just goes to show how little most people care about creatures (and children) when it comes to getting publicity.
