When I went to Peru a few years back, we stopped at this little store/restaurant before we set off onto the Inca Trail Hike. I was freaking out and squeeing over the giant pen that they had in their yard, that had a ton of guinea pigs living in it. It had all sorts of different platforms and little houses for them in there. It was mega-cute. Then I found out that they don't keep them as pets, they raise them to cook them and they are considered a delicacy there. HORRIFIED.
