The government has determined that guinea pigs are social animals that are stressed by solidary living conditions. Because of this > lol ...

Küng, 41, rents out her guinea pigs, a service that has been in high demand in the Alpine nation ever since animal welfare rules were tightened up a few years ago. Switzerland has forbidden people from keeping lone guinea pigs because the animals are sociable and need each other's company.

Remember touching bumpers for the ground side and clamping the jumper cables together for a longer reach? It would be tougher to do today with all the plastic fake bumpers. But thankfully jumping off vehicles isn’t as often necessary as it once was. 👍
