A German bricklayer, who accused his girlfriend of liking her pet guinea pig more than him, killed the pet and turned it into a “romantic” dinner for two.

Lara Hochner, 23, from Darmstadt only found out what had happened when she went to her beloved pet Rudi after the candle-lit meal, to make sure he had enough food and water.

When she realised he was not there, her 29-year-old boyfriend Werner Brenner admitted that the couple had just eaten the animal.

This story confirms the wisdom of her preference.
No kidding, that's one cold blooded s.o.b. Imagine how jealous he'd be if they had a baby ...

I've over-nighted with friends who have guinea pigs. Can't say as to nocturnal noises, since the bedrooms are too far away to hear them, but I love the sounds I could hear during the day. Contented hoots and trills, remind me a bit of the effect in Star Trek's The Trouble with Tribbles.

Tastes better than a Corgi?

My 10 year old daughter has a guinea pig named Sweetie who is adorable and affectionate. The thing is so darn cute that for awhile I couldn't resist feeding it treats of fresh cherry tomatos, baby carrots etc, but soon she became demanding and obnoxious and it got so that it recognized my 200 pound walk as I moved through the house. It got so bad that I could hardly make a move anywhere in the house without her going crazy and squeeking up a storm driving us all nuts.

I no longer feed her. Problem solved.

I told my daughter that I wouldn't eat her rat unless I was really hungry and hadn't eaten in a few weeks, but I bet it would crisp up really nice on the grill.

It is my understanding that there are a few restaurants here in the Twin Cities that include Guinea Pig on their menus.

That brought a tear to my eye. Too funny. :-)

Next time get a Lab. I have two and they don't make me sneeze.

Besides, Labs are big enough to make several meals. /sarcasm

Hehe. I worked with woman. Took her family off on vacation, with a friend taking taking care of the family gp. She told the friend that it wasn't looking too well. "What do I do with it if it dies?" "Stick it in the freezer."

The friend was nice enough to use a plastic bag or two.

The protester didn’t see the incongruity in his method??
