'Gastronomical Festival of the Cat'

You know how you sometimes have likes and dislikes that you can't explain? You have no idea why you love this or dislike/hate that?

Well I dislike South America. Of course I can't just make such a statement without a valid reason. It's just that I never felt the urge to travel to South America. I don't want to see the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu and I don't want to see the carnival in Rio. I don't much care for Chile nor do I want Argentina to cry for me. I don't care for the cuisine nor the history, languages etc. and until today I had no idea why.

One could even say that among the five continents South America is my least favorite.

Until I read THIS today. Being quite possibly one of the world's biggest cat lovers I am outraged and hope they are taking the piss but I fear it is not a joke and Peruvians are not the only people to eat cats but a 'Gastronomical Festival of the Cat'???????? I MEAN PURRRLEASE! That's just one step too far.

I feel a rant coming on but for the sake of world peace I will keep quiet and instead curl up on my couch in the fetal position after I made sure that my two furry friends are alive and well.

Bastards!

P.S. No I am not a vegetarian, vegan or meat hater. It's just that my meat grows in neat little plastic packages in my supermarket's meat aisle.

After that picture I'm not even reading the article. People eating cats is just WRONG!

Well, I don't feel able to object to it on moral grounds, but things they need to encourage people to eat with promises of curing ailments are usually disgusting.

I just can't imagine eating food that wasn't grown in the packages at my grocery store. I saw Exiled on MTV when they sent this spoiled rich girl off to some third world family in the mountains that killed and cooked a guinea pig for her and she was supposed to be honored and eat it happily! YUCK!
