Fury Over Cat Eating Festival
“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.’” — The Sun (UK)
So you’re sitting on a barstool somewhere and a guy comes up to you and says, “Let’s go down to the Gastronomical Festival of the Cat and get really wild…” Wild? What do you mean? “Wild — like, we’ll stuff ourselves with cat burgers and romp our way through town like sailors on shore leave…” Cat burgers? “Oh man, yes, cat burgers, the ecstasy tablet made of pure unadulterated cat meat, the Viagra of Peru…”
Sound like an episode from a Surrealist novel? Why, yes. But you can experience this freaky scene if you break through the human chain of PETA protestors and head on down to the Massacre of the Moggies. Probably it is indeed a wild time — not because cat meat is an aphrodisiac, but because the group delusion that it stokes the fires of love will encourage people to let loose. There must be copious drinking as well. But what do Peruvians drink with cat meat — white wine, perhaps? Tequila? Moonshine?
I love my cats and my dogs, but god do I hate PETA… Animals eat animals, it’s literally as natural as it comes. At some point in our genetic history, our kind became omnivorous because it provides us the most nutritional options. More options meant we survived when other creatures couldn’t. Now, we’re so successful we can not only turn away food, we can yell at others who choose to eat it.
I love my pets and couldn’t bring myself to eat them, but what is a pet (or simply “unclean”) to one culture is livestock to another. So, Peru, dig in and I hope the sex is well worth the effort.
i love my cat, she’s like a child to me.
i hate the thought of anyone eating a cat, but randomchick is right, i don’t have the right to scream at them for eating cat meat as much as i despise them for it, it’s like a hindo telling me i can no longer eat beef just because cows are sacred to them. i just hope they kill them quickly and as painlessly as possible.
but knowing third world countries like i do they probably don’t.
thank goodness i live in a civilized country where cats are not eaten.
well i’m hoping nobody here in oz eats them.
What the FUCK does this have to do with being a PERVERT. Now if this involved Butt Fucking a PETA pest that would be of interest
From what I’ve heard cat isn’t all that nice anyway, apparently carnivores never are. I know that dog’s nothing great – chewy and kind of sweet. It wasn’t vile or anything, but you wouldn’t travel for it.
And no aphrodisiac effects either.
Jesus Wept! I always thought the Peruvians liked eating Guinea Pigs! I mean, that I can live with. Clean living little vegi’ rodents. But Cats, for chrissake?! Fuck Right Off!
Funny how I’ve never heard of this before. I wonder what cultural quirk led them to it? Crazy fuckers. I mean; What in hell is ’sexy’ about a cat???
I too would be uneasy about the method of dispatch. Probably a sharp tap on the head. But I wouldn’t be too sure every cat tapped would be completely brain dead before what ever comes next.
As for peta? Hypocritical bastards, as ever. At least the Peruvians are eating their shit. Peta just kill pets for the same reason the Nazi’s killed Gypsys, Jews and so many others; Just to try and rid them from the face of the earth, because they despised them.
Now there’s a pair of Really sick fucks!
I don’t understand why people get all butthurt about certain animals are eaten. It’s all meat and what we eat/don’t eat is more cultural than anything, so RandomChick is right.
People in third world countries are actually pretty good at killing animals that they are accustomed to eating so I hope that is the case. Cultural elitism shouldn’t apply here because slaughterhouses in “civilized” countries are just as bad if not worse than anything that other countries could “dish out” to animals.
