More than 1,000 animals - mostly guinea pigs - have died after a fire at a pet breeding centre, police said.
Officers were called to a "significant fire" at the animal breeding centre in Lewdown, Okehampton, Devon, at 1.45am on Tuesday morning.

Crispy!

I feel like a bad person now. When i read that it was guinea pigs i thought "meh"... anyone else a horrible bástard?

If it helps anyone, all of the animals would have died of asphyxiation before they burned and wouldn't have suffered at all. Dying in a fire is probably one of the best ways to go because you usually just fall asleep and die before the fire even reaches you.

Oops sorry. I should've made a really unamusing pun about animals burning to death.

Don't worry about it, you'll learn.

Seriously though, Guinea pigs are cute and it's a horrible tragedy. If only it was cats.

350, actually

It was initially thought about a thousand small animals had died at the farm which breeds guinea pigs, rabbits and rats.

However, members of the family which owns the farm managed to save some before being beaten back by fire and smoke.

Family friend Adam Spry said they believed they knew where the fire started.
He said: "We think the fire started in a small shed which had some domestic freezers in it.

"It spread to another shed, which had no livestock, but that burnt so strongly that it spread the shed next door to that, where there were about 350 guinea pigs."

And yes. Yes they would

How do you make a hamster go "woof"?

Dip it in petrol and light a match.
