A recent cat-eating festival in Peru has inspired the rage of cat lovers the world over. We wonder; barbecue sauce, or honey-mustard? Ha, no, we’d never eat a kitty, even though the people of Cañete insist they hold the festival for health reasons.
They believe that eating cat burgers – and fried cat legs and tails – can cure bronchial disease. A 63-year-old local woman with 17 children and 70 grandchildren also credits cat meat for keeping her fertile. It is also believed that feline meat serves as an aphrodisiac.
See? Totally legit. They probably had a doctors note or something. From a lolcats MD. EET CATZ 4 FIX KOFF, KTHX!
And as the good chef says in the video, they don’t just eat any old stray mongrel, no no. The cats are specially bred for the purpose, and are lavished with love and care until being offed and made into burgers.
PETA and other animal-rights groups are furious about the annual festival being allowed to continue, but we wonder: how is it different from any county fair? Sure fair-goers might not claim health reasons for eating their own weight in baby-back ribs, but just as much excessive animal slaughter and consumption goes on. So is it just a sentimental issue? What do you think about eating cats?
One of you is meant to be edible. Maybe both…

Mmmm….pussy.
Anyway. Coño! Learn to type la jodida eñe mi gente. The place is called “Cañete”, not “Canete.”
Quick trick. Hold Alt, and on the number pad type “0241” and release the Alt key. Voilá. La jodida eñe aparece. That shit is like computer voodoo. Try it!

Ah, nothing like a sarcastic, know-it-all commenter to make everyone’s day. Congratulations to you for knowing how to operate a keyboard and never having a typo.
On topic: Noooooo!

Hi There,
I know there are poor and hungry people everywhere, but if we don’t draw the line somewhere, nothing in this world would be off limits. This repulsive cruel practice against cats should be stopped.

Eating cats sounds like a way to reduce the stray animal problem and world hunger with one new fad.
Imagine if we could get Paris Hilton to say,
“Pussy, it’s what’s for dinner!”
I think we could all see something positive come from that.

I believe that this will piss the cat Gods off and they will stay a third world country…that is cruel and ignorant. I hope to eat people from preu someday.

Eating cat meat is no different than eating a cow, pig, chicken, etc…although there may be nutritional differences, meat is meat. The only way to avoid robbing cute little animals of their lives is to go vegan…in the mean time, hating on people just because they eat a different kind of meat is just hypocritical if you consume meat. Also, OMFG 17 KIDS!

PETA needs to get a new life. Peope eat differant animals in differant parts of the world. SHOCK for ya……..Dogs are eaten all over the world, encluding right here in the good ole US of A. Some American Native people have been doing it long before the white world ruined things.
Go to India and try to get a Hamburger.
Get over it people, if you don’t want to eat cat, Don’t. If yopun don’t want to eat Alligator, Goat, Bear, Moose, Deer, Elk, Buffalo, Prong Horn, Rabbit, Posume, Snake, Fish or even bran nuts. It’s your choice. The creator put them here. We just use what he gives us.

PETA….How many cats and dogs did you kill today, because you could not fine anyone to adopt them at $100.00 or more.?
Might be better if we could find a use for a good PETA sandwich!

the success of a country depends on how it treats its animals.

jerks

FINALLY a good use for cats! Cats, (pet and feral) freely roam our neighborhood and are at unbelievable numbers. these roaming cats piss and poop in everyone’s yard, in cars, spread disease and kill birds-some species of birds have been recently extinct due to the ‘common household cat’. this az/mexicoborder town’s local people frenquently eat ‘gato tacos’, so is peta discriminating against a culture? peta should focus on educating cat lovers to spay/neuter cats to prevent mass breeding.

There is a huge difference between predator and prey animals. For me, the emotional argument of pet vs. food is irrelevant. Cats are predators, and should not be eaten. That is just my personal philosophy/opinion. Unless my life depended upon it — in which case self preservation would kick in — I just can’t see myself eating a fellow predator. Plus, cats are just the coolest creatures on earth, with qualities to admire, if not emulate. Why would anyone want to destroy that unless they are simple of mind?
As for the superstitious cat eaters in the video: They are born, live and will die on dirt floors. HA-HA! Cats win!!!

I have cats, I like ‘em. Don’t wanna eat ‘em. But if I got hungry enough…Here kitty kitty!

Some animals just shouldn’t be eaten especially predatory animals-too many toxins. Aids jumped from monkeys to humans in a country that ate monkey brains-what does that tell you?

Is there any scientific proof that eating cat meat really works? Or is this some kind of myth somebody made up to exploit another animal and make money off it?
