bawan 0 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 ANIMAL rights groups are up in arms over an annual festival in Peru that serves up hundreds of fried CATS to locals. The 'Gastronomical Festival of the Cat' – dubbed the 'Massacre of the Moggies' – sees townsfolk in Canete, near Lima, feast on the fluffy pets for two days. They believe that eating cat burgers – and fried cat legs and tails – can cure bronchial disease. It is also believed that feline meat serves as an aphrodisiac. The cats are bred especially for this festival – which takes place at the end of September on the Day of Santa Ifigenia. But it has generated fury among animal rights groups. A PETA spokesman said: "“If Peruvians really eat poor old Moggy because they think his meat cures bronchitis, that’s about as bizarre as it gets, although remember that Asians eat monkey bits thinking that will cure their impotence and even Europeans butcher poor old Bessie the cow or Henny Penny the hen, because they see them as nothing more than a bit of nourishment. “Having toured slaughterhouses for dogs in Taiwan, horses in Texas, and chickens and cows in Europe, PETA’s staff says the last thing we need to do is add yet another poor animal to the list of those being frightened and slaughtered for a taste.” http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1782932.ece Video on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14136 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Well you could at least change the thread title to something not involving cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I hope by the grace of God that Catmag somehow misses this thread. Well we do have a cat plague in this country, along with cat fleas and cat poo (and there is credit crunch meals, of course ), but I still don't think this is the answer.

NJS 4014 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Why is one domesticated animal off the menu while others aren't? They may have been "created" by man for slightly different purposes but the mechanism is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
