The article was a bit like "are you tired of taking care of Fluffy the piggy? Why not try her for Christmas dinner?" And you're right... we don't eat guinea pigs in our culture.<BR/><BR/>LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26837030.post-64569938704712789522008-12-18T21:07:00.000+01:002008-12-18T21:07:00.000+01:00I'm of the belief that if you eat any meat at all,...I'm of the belief that if you eat any meat at all, then you can't get mad at other people for doing the same. Cows have personalities. Pigs have personalities. Chickens have personalities. Yet, we eat them, so how can we get mad at another culture eating guinea pigs or cats or dogs?Jen (emsun.org)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15262746716973961624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26837030.post-24962959614808632022008-12-18T18:26:00.000+01:002008-12-18T18:26:00.000+01:00Of course I hate to see this, I mean I love my gir...Of course I hate to see this, I mean I love my girls SO MUCH! On the other hand, it's culture. Guinea pigs were domesticated for food as early as 5000 BC in south america. They are also worshipped and regarded as being a medium for the supernatural in many South American cultures.<BR/><BR/>So ok, there is NO WAY I'm going to have roasted guinea pig for christmas dinner, and I REALLY don't enjoy seeing the photos of the poor lil things all roasted up, but I guess my reaction isn't quite as strong as yours is. We do the same, we just do it with different creatures.<BR/><BR/>LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
