At the Guinea Pig Festival in Huacho, Peru, they dress the little darlings up in cute costumes, parade them around in a fashion show, then… fry them up and eat them. I’m not trying to be a hypocrite, because I eat meat and whatever, but I prefer my food sans anthropomorphic costume, thanks!
A few more of the cute pictures after the jump. To see the more of the pigs in their finery, head over here— just don’t scroll too far if you don’t want to see them on skewers!
That’s so shocking! But maybe not so shocking when you think people do the same sort of thing with baby pigs and lambs.. probably.
