NY-EUTHANIZATION ALERT-DESPERATE CALL FOR HELP

PIGS ARE SAFE AND ALWAYS WERE! READ UPDATE here.

FIVE DAYS until fifteen guinea pigs in upstate New York are euthanized. Now that a college br33ding program has ended, the pigs are going to be killed on Wednesday, the twelfth of December.

Any help is desperately needed. Foster homes, adopters, financial or material donations, donations of time, transporting a pig to a safe home, etc.

All fifteen of these Pink Eyed Whites (PEW)s, though lab animals, have been handled daily and are friendly.

The school in question is SUNY Delhi, a small college in the Catskills Mountains of New York. It's website is here: http://www.delhi.edu.

For any questions or offers of help, please either leave a comment, email me at Adoptaguineapig @ gmail.com (remove spaces), or visit this thread on Guinea Lynx: here.

PLEASE HELP KEEP THESE DEFENSELESS,
INNOCENT ANIMALS FROM BEING KILLED!

NJ-Craigslist-long haired adult sow

ensure
it matches the name he or she gives *

LISTING REMOVED. Butler, NJ: Folks in the household are allergic to what I'm sure is a beautiful long haired piggie, and so she's being rehomed. She's eighteen months old and has long black, brown, and white hair. Comes with probably a too-small cage and water bottle (she needs a friend). Described as a "loving and wonderful pet."

POST DELETED. Brogue (near York), PA: Oh, ugh. Two guinea pigs that must be adopted together, but the poster doesn't know whether they're male or female. Do a pregnancy check. Herbie and Batman have always been together, and their small adoption fee includes a too-small cage, two water bottles, a food bin, and whatever food and bedding is left at the time. These friendly cavies have been handled by children daily (potential groan).

LISTING REMOVED. Hamlin (near Rochester, NY): Happy Holidays! You're Homeless! All I know about these guinea pigs is that they're cute, their adoption fee is far too l0w, they need to go ASAP, and they come with two too-small cages.
