Reply #225: Central/South Americans eat guinea pigs

Or so I say once on :Globetrekker" with Justine Shapiro! The one she had were split and fried, and first you break off their heads and suck out their brains. I'm a meat eater, and even I was like ewwww! But, it's a cultural thing, so...

My dad hunts and my uncle has a farm where barnyard animals are killed and eaten for dinner. HOWEVER, the rabbit this boy bought wasn't a brown wild rabbit, it was a pet store bunny -- absolutely not the same thing. And, I think this is what freaked out so many people. I don't think there's anything wrong with a rural home ec class showing this, but I do think it should have been mentioned before hand, and those who didn't want to see it shouldn't have to.

I've cleaned fish, but there's no way I could dress a rabbit unless I was starving. Ick. I couldn't be a nurse or a doctor, either...
