Dear Viewers,
Peter Gurney left us last Saturday 1st July 2006. We are all deeply saddened by this and he will be missed dearly by everyone. He was the most genuine person that I personally knew as well as a great friend. He dedicated his life to his furry friends all around the world and never failed to influence and educate us on the proper care of guinea pigs...even if this meant beating it in our stubborn minds.
Thanks for always being there when we needed you most - You are and will always remain a true friend Peter!

The latest appalling piece of research using animals.
(27th
February 2006)
This is the
latest example of the stupidity and lack of any kind of ethical standard in the
minds of scientist who experiment on animals.
They are doing research into developing a pill that will enable women to
drink during pregnancy without causing any harm to their babies. Currently they
are using mice but it will go on from there of course.
Just think of
the kind of mind that came up with this piece of garbage, an educated one, or
that is what we are led to believe is. If it is educated then it is not
educated in any shape or form that has any place in it for reason and common
sense.
As for the
women who would use this pill, my contempt for them would be total.
So the next
time you hear professor Colin Blakely or one of his kind running off at the
mouth at people protesting against animal experimentation think this, just one
of the useless kind of research programme that inflict pain and suffering upon
animals.

Merry Christmas from the mob and its obedient servant!
Another killer on TV
for the entertainment of morons and kiddies.
(23rd
December 2005)
Another one of the brainless celebrity
chefs, Gordon Ramsey, has followed the example of the nasty Jamie Oliver. He
slaughtered some
These people are without any kind of
compassion or moral standards, they will do anything to up the viewing rating
to their boring programmes.
The level of cruelty to animals has been
increasing by fast amounts and it it is because of what is shown of TV as
entertainment that this is so.
How sick can you get, about as sick as
Oliver and Ramsey, they are both despicable human beings.
How low can this man and the BBC sink?
(26th
November 2005)
I do not own a
TV but am aware of what is on it in the guise of entertainment. A few day ago,
that grubby, grinning, gormless little man, Jamie Oliver, slit a lamb’s throat
for the ‘entertainment’ of his viewers. That the BBC allowed this to go ahead,
shows just how low this once decent broadcasting organization has sunk.
The eagerness
of thugs to ape what they see on TV means, without the slightest doubt that
more animals will be tortured after this display of utter stupidity.
One day Oliver
will engage that tiny thing that keeps his ears apart before he behaves in his
usual irresponsible manner. I have informed Sainsbury that I will not step into
one of their shops for as long as Oliver is being paid to advertise their
goods.
I do hope people
will write and express their disgust at this appalling incident.

(21st October 2005)
While
I disapprove of the way the RSPC is run, when it does do something right I will
give it my one hundred percent support.
It
has certainly done something right in bringing to the attention of the world
the barbaric behavior of the fishermen of the
This
human filth is using live cats and dogs as bait. They simply tie their legs
together then put a hooks through their nosed and throw them into the sea, live
and obviously in agony, to hook sharks on the end of a fishing line.
I
don’t want to hear any damned nonsense about this low life carrying on their
native fishing traditions, this is something they have decided to do recently.
I
urge everyone to sing the RSPCA petition on their site and contact the French
embassy and insist they do something stop this scum from torturing and killing
living breathing creatures in this appalling manner.
I
feel dirty, degraded, to think that I am of the same species as these barbarian
fishermen.

HUNTING
(28th
September 2005)
They punched
his head and when he fell they kicked and kicked again.
They filmed
this with their mobiles phones, yes they had been prepared.
They loved the
sight of all that blood and all his cries of pain,
And they
behaved like animals, that’s what the judge declared.
They stamped upon
his legs and jeered each time he begged ‘no more,’
Then took a
really close up shot and grinned or simply stood and stared.
They thought
themselves as macho boys that others would adore,
And they
behave liked animals, that’s what the judge declared.
The judge he
was a hunting man who thought the chase was grand
He also loved
to shoot game birds and called this jolly sport,
And those who
thought this that was wrong he hounded from his land,
And he behaved
like human kind with many brain cells short.

We Are Back!!
4th
September 2005
I regret closing the message board but until there is some kind of
regulation to stop people like the moron who was posting porn addresses on the
board, to which children visit, it will have to remain closed. I get
incandescent with rage when the self same people want their freedoms but abuse
other’s freedoms like websites such as mine.
The news is that the cancer I had has
now spread to my liver but I am now undergoing chemo therapy which I am coping
with very well, and that’s enough of my boring medical condition.
As
you can see the adorable Iggy is still alive and kicking at the grand old age
of eight. He is blind in one eye and a not as agile as he was but he is still
very much a going concern. I think I can safely say that guinea pig snouts like
that go it simply does not get any better. There will be lots of tears she when
he does decide to go but he will have earned them all for all the joy he has
brought into my life.
The news that at long last the
barbarians in red coats have had their disgusting activities curbed is good
news so how about the authorities dealing with an even greater obscenity,
factory farming.
I am still working with my wonderful
Vet Anne. It is amazing how many people I have sent to her with guinea pigs
that needed her expertise who now take their cat and dogs to her. They only
have to meet her once to know that she is not the average vet, looking over her
shoulder at the clock and working out how much they can charge. We are finding out that all the vets that in
the group that she works for have very much the same attitude, such a very
refreshing thing to find. She has already taught one of the other young vets
how to trim teeth without anaesthetics.
I advise every one to check out the
Vet MSRA site, which has got that sick joke, the RCVS, very worried by high
lighting the real state of veterinary care and the lack of proper regulation to
control it’s activities. They are worried not that they are not providing a
lousy service but that they have been discovered so doing, integrity is a word
it does not know the meaning of.
All
for now. The girls in the main pen will be back shortly.

Animal Testing.
So five hundred scientists have signed
a document supporting animal testing. Well we all know how reliable and
trustworthy these many lettered people are from the way the veterinary
profession is run. Even more worrying is the totally biased reporting of this
issue of the media, particularly the BBC. Not once have I heard an interviewer
bring of the subject of Thalidomide and the many other drugs that have proved
dangerous after being tested on animals. Neither have I heard any interviews
with people like the Doctor Hadwen Trust
which promotes none animal testing.
When people tell me that I have
benefited from animal testing with my own medical problems I always point out
to them that if they had not gone on this line of research years ago I probably
have not got the problems in the first place for more advances would have been
made.
Animal testing is wrong, and the
last people to tell me that I am wrong are bunch of scientists who have a long
way to go before I am convinced that they are interested in anything other than
their own careers or their bank balances and their massive egos.

(February 2005)
Sorry about that folks, but
we live in a country that invented railways but now is totally incapable of
running them.
Needless to say I had booked my tickets two weeks
earlier, there had been no emergency, and they had my phone number to let me
know that they were going to cancel all trains to
The icing on the cake came
when I went back to the rail booking agency where I was told to fill in a form
which had to go to head office where a decision would be made as to whether I
was entitled to a refund, if you please.
Through this whole affair, not one member of staff of the rail company,
the station or the agency used that word SORRY.
So folks, use public
transport; what public transport!
I really enjoy meeting old
friends and making new ones but because of the incompetence of that sick joke,
the railways companies, I missed out this year.
Sainsbury’s appalling
entry into the game market.
Sainsbury is now giving away
booklets called ‘Game to Eat.’ Which have been produced by the Countryside
Alliance.
I have always shopped at this
store; it is close by and a handy place to get my greens for my guinea pigs and
all my regular shopping. As of today I shall cease shopping at this store
which, as far as I am concerned, is supporting a political lobbying group.
We all know what the Countryside
Alliance is all about, and it isn’t about caring for animals. It is about
supporting the barbaric practice of country sports, which is nothing other than
cruelty to other living creatures.
These game bird are now also
being battery bred and it is from this source that Sainsbury will obtain its
stock.
This store obviously will
stoop to any level to sell their goods and I urge all that visit my website to
follow my example and cease to shop at Sainsbury.

READ THIS:
A friend sent me an e mail with the
Findit.co.uk website upon which these retched animals were being advertised.
Right, we know that there is nothing we can do to stop people breeding these
animals, the result of human beings who think that they can do better than
Mother Nature, and none of the animal welfare organisations seem to want to get
involved, but we can do something.
What we have to do is protest
to Findit.co.uk and any other organization, which advertises them, and spread
the word to friends not to buy from these websites. So let’s get together on
this one and prove that we are real animal lovers and let everyone know how we
feel about this kind of breeding. – Peter

NOTICE: The ‘Royal’ in the R.S.P.C.A. In the light
of the continued cruel behaviour on that nasty old woman, who this week-end,
battered a pheasant to death, which either one of her family or one of her
friends had shot, for no other reason that then their perverted pleasure, why
is she still the patron of this organization. It
is a sick joke that this woman’s name is in anyway connected with a so-called
animal welfare organization. This woman and her family are one not only one
hundred percent supportive of all forms of cruelty to wild animal, which come
under the sick heading of field sport, they engage in it. Yet this
organization claim to oppose the antic of these sad, sick people. Once
again, I urge people not to donate to this organization that, as far as I am
concerned, is in breach of it’s charter for not tacking this appalling family
to task for it cruelty to animals. P. Gurney 26 Jan 2004 The R S P C A is at it again! A lady recently went to an R.S.P.C.A.
establishment, which seeks homes for rescued animals. One of her three year
old sows had died and she wanted another companion, naturally enough, another
sow, for it. Wait for it! The place she went to
had two sows, that would have fitted the bill but they refused to let her
have one on the grounds that ‘You can’t get two female guinea pigs to live
together.’ This organization, which I continue to
urge animal lovers not to support, should spend less on fancy uniforms,
publicity, and tugging their forelocks to the R.C.V.S. and spend more in
training their staff in the very basics of animal welfare and particularly
about the needs of small animals. Mind you this is an organization that has
only just woken up to the fact that it can be lethal to guinea pig health to
house them with rabbits, so what can we expect. P. Gurney 23.9.03 |

CAN YOU HELP? Guinea Pigs need Re-homing
|
30th
January 2003 Christine and Tracey, who took in all those Piggies
from the RSPCA about eighteen months back have a lot more for re-homing.
There are even neutered boars so they will be fine to be taken in by people
with sow only requirements. These ladies are simply sweethearts for their
care of unwanted animals, so let’s all support them and help find homes for,
from the sounds of it some lovely wee beasties. Christine is on 0208 274 0034 and Tracey on 0208 658 5452. Many thanks! Peter |
