These animals are widely kept as pets in the West, and are regarded as "cute, cuddly, or friendly" and therefore not to be eaten.
Who cares after TSHTF, but perhaps not the best choice whilst times are normal.

Morally, I dont think that eating a guinea pig is different from eating a chicken or a rabbit, but many dont see it like that.


A neighbor raises rabbits. Some get sold to pet shops. Some get invited to lunch. A few are kept as pets. He has a shed behind the house. The family doesn't advertise that they raise, and eat, rabbits. Nobody who eats dinner there seems to notice that the 'chicken' had large, meaty, legs, and there are no wings.
