World Fury over cat eating festival

[The Helper]

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.

I don't remember them being mad about it a year ago.

Respect the culture?


Hindus don't protest at us when we eat cows.

 

[DDRtists]

I agree. Here, we see them as pets, there they don't. It's just like cows and rats here, we seem them as food and pests, other countries see them as godly figures.

THEY'RE GONNA MAKE LOLCATS GO EXTINCT! BURN THEM!

[FireCat]

better I don't say more thing on that fck festival, but it's just :thdown:

Meh, meat is meat. Let them eat what they want, so long as it isn't themselves.

 

[FireCat]

No, cats are not meat at all.

Then what are they? Bones? Skeletons? Organs (No wait, that's meat)

I don't encourage the eating of cats, but if that's how their culture likes it then why should we stop them? That would be like trying to stop the eating of cows in America.

I can't call them for meat when I don't eat them. So they are pets and they should be only pets like dogs, and some other animals to. even if I eat meat. but I don't say, oh there goes meat around and eat grass.

Take the chinese for an example. They eat everything they get their hands on there in China. Why would be suddently start complaining about a single strange thing like cats in an other country? Bricks, trees, bugs, eat whatever you want.

You only see them as pets, because thats what you were brought up with. If you were brought up eating them, you wouldn't care. Same thing with Cows, you think nothing of eating them.

maybe is not so much what they eat (But could stay away cats and dog and some other animal to, like I said), but mostly because how some treats the animals and how they kill the animals, I hate that..

Yes I grow up with them. Sure I think about cows to, but I do not want to think is a cow or a pig when I eat.

 

[Aqua Dragon]

If you hate how they treat or kill the animals, perhaps you should read up on what they do to cows and pigs...

And for you not thinking thing, don't you think they might do the same thing? After all to us, it's "just a cow" but to them it's "just a cat"

why really I need to do that? it's enough what i already know and is not worse, even I dont like it either. I don't said Is a just a cow. and not means they can do whatever they want to a cat. because it's just a cat.

 

[Varine]

To them it's food. It's not like we don't do anything similar, we just use fatter animals.

I am sorry, everyone says "We see them as pets, they dont, yhada yhada yhada up on my high horse about how you dont understand"

Well, I am sorry, I understand fully.

And it is disgusting and wrong. why? Because, I see them as pets. Yeah, I hate those people becuase they eat cats. Just like I would expect people who keep cows or pigs as pets to think I am disgusting.

I have never lived without a cat for a pet, the thought of eating one makes me want to vomit.
