The Southern California Guinea Pig Rescue (SCGPR) announced it rescued around 400 guinea pigs this week from a Los Angeles property where they slept outside "with improper food, water, and care."
Guinea Pigs are cuys, the small rats that the Andean natives fatten in holes in their homes and eat. When I was working in Ecuador's highlands, I was served this rodent for lunch (see pic), and I found it edible. They are not kosher.
Buddhists never kill an animal and are vegetarians. SCGPR is not just another Southern California craze; they have roots in an ancient Indian philosophy. Those little critters may house the souls of dead humans in one of their stations of eternal soul-recycling.
