    It's there preference I guess, all I can say is I will never eat one!

    I have a peruvian guinea pig, Squishy, could you eat this face?

    I could never eat Squishy, of course! He's one handsome fuzzball.

    HOWEVER....I do have a lot of family from Peru, and I don't condemn the eating of GPs...I don't know that I would eat one myself, but I don't find it gross, it's just a different part of the world.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    From the television shows I've seen on that part of the world, guinea pigs are an important protein source for many of the indigenous people. And while I could not eat them, I do not begudge them that. And if it were not for that. they'd never have been domesticated, and then become the pets we know and love!

    Mind you, Paul, who has watched the television shows with me, knows full well that I'd probably dump all my belongings out of my suitcase and fill it with guinea pigs to bring and back and save from becoming someone's dinner.

    "Uh, no, officer, my suitcase isn't wiggling - didn't you feel that earthquake? And those squeaks - well, must be my asthma kicking up again, sorry!"

    I don't really think it's disgusting or anything, although I personally wouldn't eat a guinea pig.

    guinea pig is not something i would like to see on my dinner table but everyone likes diferent things!! I myself like rabbit meat, even though i own a rabbit!! not that i could ever eat Buttercup!! Just like I like chicken and own 21 of them!! they will not be eaten!! but that dosent stop me from buying it at the grocery store! I also like turtle soup and have two turtles!! just as long as nonone tries to eat my critters I dont care!! But if you have that hungry look in your eyes looking at my critters you will be staring down the barrel of my 12 guage shotgun!!!
    Maggie,

    I didn't slap you, I just high fived your Face!
    I've Been Boo'd!!
