I got the opportunity to join the protest for killed 261 animals instead of finding them loving homes, like they promised. The Apache Junction City Council did not allow me to speak during their public session, but many council members approached us afterwards and said how awful this was and wished that they did not have time to hide the evidence so he could be prosecuted. We will keep fighting for justice for these animals who were intentionally neglected before being inhumanely executed.

Claire yeeted herself headfirst into the pea flake bag. She is OK but angry with me that I did not let her eat a jumbo bag of peaflakes in one sitting 😂

318 small pets missing in Tucson, Arizona. 250 of them were apparently adopted through a private rescue who were unable to give assurances to San Diego of where they were adopted to in a matter of a few short weeks.
-Do not harass or threaten the rescue--that will not help the ongoing investigation.

More than 300 small pets left the San Diego Humane Society in a truck on Aug. 7, headed for the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Dozens of rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats and mice were headed for new opportunities to get adopted.

Did you know? Guinea pigs need 24/7 timothy hay (alternatives types of hay are available for anyone allergic). I like to give mine in hay piles primarily because they get so happy burying themselves in their food munching away.
P.s. I spy a Yuki

Annual health check-ups are important for any pets. It's especially important for piggies who are known to hide their illness usually until it's too late to save them. This is also why it is important to weigh them on a weekly basis and if you suspect illness then weigh them daily as significant weight loss in a short time period is a definite sign of illness and you should get them to a vet right away.
