BBC wrote:Peru: Campaigning for the rights of cats
...
Every September, a statue of Santa Efigenia is paraded to lively music and dancing on the streets of La Quebrada, a farming community south of Lima.
As part of the celebrations, residents set up food stalls and tables for the Gastronomic Festival of the Cat. It is a cat-eating feast that commemorates the time when the early slave settlers survived only - supposedly - by eating cat meat.
Dozens of the creatures are bred especially for the occasion, and then cooked in an array of Peruvian recipes.
There's spicy cat stew, or grilled cat with native huacatay herbs. Crowds of curious festival-goers get a kick out of eating a meat that is said to taste very much like rabbit.
And forget about oysters and rhino horn. In Peru, it is cat meat that is believed to be an aphrodisiac.
