@@averymagana2072 sweetie it wasn’t ur fault

[@GammaSierra]

​@@averymagana2072 I'm curious why your co worker didn't inspect the cage herself. Sounded like she was throwing you under the bus. Soon as Saskia walks up, first thing out of your coworkers mouth "remember when I told 𝘺𝘰𝘶 I saw a cage out front". Unless there was some physical force restraining her from leaving the building, it was her responsibility to investigate it. That poor piggy lost its life because she didn't walk 20 feet to the entrance and verify if any animals are inside (the same entrance that many owners discard their cavies with no notification). Saskia was right, it wasn't your fault. It was your co workers. I don't feel it was anything intentional, but it was completely preventable and hopefully she learned that.

[@BTarpley805]

Saskia, you gave him a final day of love and care. I'm sorry for this loss, but glad you could be there for him. 💔💔💔

[@lemongrabloids3103]

The amount of love you have for these little creatures is beautiful ❤

[@equestrianrosie]

And this is why whenever I see a video titled “someone abandoned this pet, it was the best thing that ever happened to him” I get so angry. Because it is never OK to abandon animals somewhere, even if you think someone’s going to find them. Every animal that has ever been dumped somewhere could die the same way this little one did.

[@reubenread7687]

Whenever I take an animal into my home, regardless of if it's temporary or not- I prepare for the long haul. When we get a creature in our care we are promising to do our best and right by them. It's hard to see the other side's perspective when there was so, so much more that could have been done better.

[@elainesmith1200]

[@pantherbeastly3934]

Agreed! It's also an extremely selfish sentiment to spell out, as if the person rescuing the pet is more concerned with the benefit of getting a pet without having to pay for it. While the idea of saving an animal is nice, you shouldn't turn their suffering into a benefit for you. I salute you for your strong empathy!💖😸

[@evil1by1]

Yes and there's plenty of blame to go around... blame for those who stigmatize those who need to surrender an animal, shelters for turning owner surrenders away, high surrender fees, rescues who offer no supportive services to keep animals and people in temporary crisis together, vets who have become heartless corporate money machines. I get that ultimately it *is* on the dumper but if you actually want to save lives you have to take responsibility for the obstacles that contribute to the choice to abandon. We do as much with human babies, cps will never turn a child away, a hospital will never turn a child away, family charities won't refuse aid to those who choose to keep their babies, we offer safe havens for abandonment so no child gets thrown away. Overwhelmingly it has worked, where it hasn't id say its due to a shame and stigma and no ability to abandon safely and without social recrimination. Thats why I say this, if your goal is saving lives then the community needs to step up, if its just about being holier than thought then continue as always I guess

[@elainecevallos7116]

With the way things are going in the world and the many people who are now carelessly abandoning their animals.It's probably a good idea to have some cameras in the areas that are hidden not for confrontation but to alert everyone that someone is about to do the wrong thing. If this is something that you'd be interested in put it on your wishlist and we will take care of it.

[@reubenread7687]

I second this. That bit of security would be such a comfort. Additional signs to warn drop-offs of the danger abandonment has might be a good idea. It's better to face the embarrassment of giving up a pet than to leave it to die.

So sad though. I just wanna know how these people managed to sneak that dump off in broad daylight assuming they would find the pig but couldn't even ring the bell before running off. So sad.

[@fitzguineavision]

@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT I fully agree with you. It's like the Penny who was legit left at my front door in a milk crate under a hidey and some other supplies in summer back in June I think it was. Though for me it was strange because whoever did it, it's like how did you even know I have guinea pigs or know how to take care of them. I suppose if someone saw my channel and really knew how to network to find info they could. But that's beside the point. It's just cruel, and heartless to do stuff like that.

​@@fitzguineavision I know this video I lost it at first and started talking about what should happen to the people who did this. I took down all those comments and left more positive ones. Hope Saskia aint mad at me for that. I'm only human and sometimes I have trouble regulating my emotions when something gets me upset and angry.

I cried the whole way through. I was ready to message Saskia and tell her that if this little man lived, he was to be MY Guinea pig. I mentally named him Icarus, and I don’t care that I live in San Diego, I would have found a way to come get him, it didn’t matter, I loved him and I wanted to give him the best life like I do my other piggies. This video is a wonderful example of why I have social anxiety; the absolute distrust I have in [most] people because of the lack of accountability and responsibility. Plus I wanted to comfort the beautiful woman who kept repeating that she didn’t see anything and no one alerted her because it wasn’t her fault and I just wanted to hug her. Every single one of you do superb work and I’m thrilled to support such a wonderful rescue. As I used to say in my yoga classes: life is good food, good company, and good sleep. 🙏🏼 PS All three of my boys were chirping at me the whole time I cried. They’re upset that I’m upset ❤️‍🩹
