ANIMAL rights groups are up in arms over an annual festival in Peru that serves up hundreds of fried CATS to locals. The 'Gastronomical Festival of the Cat' – dubbed the 'Massacre of the Moggies' – sees townsfolk in Canete, near Lima, feast on the fluffy pets for two days.
They believe that eating cat burgers – and fried cat legs and tails – can cure bronchial disease.
It is also believed that feline meat serves as an aphrodisiac.
The cats are bred especially for this festival – which takes place at the end of September on the Day of Santa Ifigenia.
But it has generated fury among animal rights groups
