2 guinea pigs dumped in the woods

[Catherine]

I don't think guinea pigs as we know them were ever a wild animal. So there is no such thing as returning them to the wild. As you say it is a form of euthanasia(for those to cheap to pay a vet).

If they really have this need to "return" them to a more natural climate, I suggest they fly them to South America.

People like that are so selfish and cruel.

I still shudder to think of Marigold out side like that. That was a most fortunate rescue.
I wonder how many piggies end up as snacks for foxes and hawks. They would have no way to protect themselves of hide. It is just such cruel behavior.
