"  The annual religious festival of Santa Efigenia in Peru has a rather interesting menu, which both animal rights activists and government officials are trying to change. According to the Associated Press, barbecued cat is the food of choice at the festival and at least 100 felines will be consumed this weekend at the event in La Quebrada.
