They had a guinea pig festival in Peru. This is where they dress up their guinea pigs in adorable outfits and pose them for cute pictures, all while feasting on - guinea pigs. It would be the equivalent of an American chicken festival, only we dressed the chicken in costumes and paraded them around while we were gnawing on fried chicken. It's warped; however, Peru is a third-world country. Guinea pigs may be cute, but they're also (gasp!) food for Peruvians.
I want one - a big, fat one. He could be a playmate for my cat, Peter. I just hope Peter wouldn't try to eat him. Maybe if I dressed up the guinea pig that would show Peter that he was off limits because what cat wants to gnaw through a pair of guinea pig pants. (Via Best Week Ever via Telegraph)
