Peruvian Guinea Pig Slaughtering
Like 3 Dislike 0 Published on 1 Oct 2011
In Peru guinea pigs are slaughtered as a delicacy to enjoy at special events such as parties and weddings. In this video my host grandmother (I studied in Peru for my last semester of grad school) is slaughtering two guinea pigs that will be eaten as a symbol of my departure for the USA. I will also post two more videos-- the de-hairing of the guinea pigs and the de-organing of the pigs. This is a very common food that many Peruvians eat (who can afford them as they are around $8-10 each).
