recently I have seen a lot of advertisements showing so called designer clothes for piggies and while the pictures look cute it is totally unnatural and cruel to dress piggies up in dresses, suits and jeans and shirts, I think anyone seeing such adverts should complain to the company, new piggy owners can be led to believe that its normal and others may get piggies as fashion accessories because they think they can dress them up like the piggies on the credit card advert, the same company is selling balls like hammie balls but for gps harnesses to all of which can seriously hurt a piggy, I know that none of our members would get these kind of things, but the companies involved are out to make a profit at the expense of our gorgeous piggies and I for one will not tolerate it, I know we put hats and things on our piggies but thats different I'm sure they enjoy that its only for a minute but a suit with trousers waistcoat and jacket must be very alien and uncomfortable for them

I think this is so disgraceful and some one should step forward and tell them how dangerous it is for guinea to wear accessories like this.

I don't mind pics taken with things like tinsel draped over and around the pig and maybe a little hat, but dressing them up in clothes is just wrong. They can't be comfortable and, as I always so, God gave them fur, not Armani.  |

I know! Its so annoying to see people do that to their pigs. Even a harness makes me mad. Don't people know how fragile their little feet are? My friend almost got a guinea pig and she said she wanted to put a harness on it and take it for a walk. I told her how dangerous that was. But she didnt seem to care. Plus I live in a very hot state, putting a guinea pig on a sidewalk in the summer or even winter can hurt their feet. Plus anyone know who takes Guinea Pigs for a walk? (Maybe some of you do and don't have problems with it) but Panda is slow and lazy. He likes to walk around in the backyard, and only for a little while. Not a whole walk around the block on a hot sidewalk. Might as well be dragging him. But clothes make me mad too. It is still dangerous. Plus, who said the pig wanted to wear a shirt? It seems like its only for the owners pleasure, not the pigs. I'm a tree huger. I am one of those crazy animal rights people. Okay, I'll pipe down now..........

just yesterday I read an advertisement selling diapers and babysuits for piggies, it makes me so annoyed as well and I know even though it upsets us there will be some misguided piggy owners who will buy them.
