Cuy Festival

As a guinea pig lover(for a pet not for a meal!), I am amazed to find out that there is such a thing called Guinea Pig Festival in Churin,Peru.

This is an annual event where the furry animal will dress up in frilly skirts or fedoras to compete for the Best Costume award.

However on the bad side, there is also the Best Guinea Pig Recipe award, where unlucky cuys are sacrificed to be a delicious cuisine. *Yuck!*

This is a link for a short video about the event, taken from Skynews.

FYI: Guinea pigs are known as cuys in Churin.
