>>56440867that was a meme and who knows if it didn't have a bit of truth since it was in the 90s -and once again the common factor is desperate poor people eating whatever they could-. Peruvians actually DO eat rodents, and it's not even a meme or a rumor, cuy (guinea pig) is a well known delicacy.
On the other hand this shit is well reported.
First link, a couple of girls were offering kittens and a haitian dude stopped to ask one for food. The girls have to explain him that we don't do that here.
Second link, animal skins found in an illegal settlement.
Third link, they found seasoned remains of dogs and a cat
And that was just a 5 second search. Google doing their biggest effort to hide this shit but all you need to go is filtering for news before this year.
