Peru School Raises Guinea Pigs for Eating

[carole]

I just watched a programme Intrepid Journeys where one of our NZ'ers visited Peru, and saw the live Guinea pigs in the cage, that distressed me, awaiting their fate, the women just picked it up so roughly like she could not care less, and probably didn't, I am not sure how they are killed, but for me that would be my main worry,that it is humane.(and it appears NOT to be) grrr.....

I also noticed there were many in the cage, no water or food,and it's hot in Peru in the summertime.

So whereas I would never eat them either, and its hard for us to understand because we have only ever raised them as pets, it is no different to them I suppose than eating pig, sheep or cow, or rabbit, all of which can be pets..

Totally off topic but did you all know in the capital city Lima (I think its called) there are no public toilets, people just do their stuff anywhere and the place pongs of course EEWWH!!
