Fearne Cotton, Alexandra Burke Turn Down Guinea Pig Meal On Inca Breast Cancer Trek

Vegan hater Anthony Bourdain once said it was rude to eat vegetarian while traveling, but the British gals Fearne Cotton and Alexandra Burke are willing to forgo manners by refusing to eat animals given to them by locals in Peru.
The two stars have laced up their hiking boots to walk along the country’s Inca trail to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. The trail is one of the most famous in the world, spanning 26 miles, passing through mountains, forests, jungles and ending at Machu Picchu, the “lost city of the Incas.”
A local mayor presented the two with guinea pigs and then invited them to the event where the animals would be skinned and roasted and eaten.
Burke was quoted by The Mirror as saying, “I’m sorry, guys – I can’t do it.” The Mirror also cites Burke as being vegetarian. Last year, Burke discussed how she was impressed with vegan restaurants she sampled, especially since she liked real chicken so much.
Guinea pigs aren’t the only animals on the menu during this event. Vegetarian Cotton got the chance to castigate the others for munching on llama.
“How can you eat that? What’s wrong with you, you savage? That’s a llama you’re scoffing! It’s so wrong. I’m disgusted.”
