Now, they need help in finding their forever homes.
197 guinea pigs were rescued by a South Jersey animal control service Thursday afternoon after finding the animals living in unsuitable conditions at a property in Bridgeton, New Jersey.
Bridgeton Animal Control was responding to an unrelated call when they discovered the guinea pigs living in these conditions in makeshift pins inside two sheds.
After finding the guinea pigs, the animal control agency contacted the South Jersey Regional Animal shelter in Vineland to assist them with the animals.
The floors and walls of the sheds were covered in layers of urine and feces. All of the guinea pigs had urine scalding on their feet, four of them were dead and many were sick and injured, according to the shelter.
Most of the rescued guinea pigs are currently available for adoption, however, the shelter does say some of the furry pets need to be evaluated medically before they can find their forever home.
As of now the guinea pigs are residing at the South Jersey shelter. There are also several pregnant females that the shelter will be looking to place with rescue organizations.
They are also looking for help from other rescue organizations that could take some of them into their care and place them.

In Peru they eat guinea pigs but I think they are bigger than these Guinea pigs.

No! I had them down in Peru, definitely NOT like rabbit. I figure probably closer to rat.

I was just making a joke. David Letterman, who I never watched, is alleged to have said it.

Sad when savings guinea pigs makes the headlines, but the murder of unborn children doesn’t get a mention......

They do. Might be too much greens to eat, but I don’t see a water bowl, so they’re probably good.

Does rat taste like squirrel? I am assume eating rats are not city rats that eats garbage.

Well, at least there are some Americans being treated like freeloading, illegal aliens. Even if they are only Guinea pigs.
