Re: [AlpacaTalk] RE: [Alpaca meat
Just to add my two cents to the discussion, we also raise meat goats here on the farm. We know, someday the cute kid who runs and bounces through the pasture may at some point someones meal someday. Livestock seams to run full circle this way. Fact of life. What is amazing though, is that in the country they come from, they are eaten, and in this country, they are worth thousands of dollars. Seems kinds silly when you really sit and think about it. LOL... Can see the conversation over the dinner table now..."This main course cost us about $500.00"... Just kidding...:-

Why do you think that people who humanely slaughter their alpacas for meat
are evil? This is the normal end of all alpacas in South America and, by
many estimates, the expected result in the very near future in this country.
While we have not yet slaughtered any of ours for meat, I have to admit that
the day may come when we decide to make the same decision.
Alpacas are livestock raised for fleece, pelt, and meat. If you choose not
to participate in some parts of this livestock business, please don't
condemn those who choose to make full use of their alpacas. That's like
saying a cow is only good for milk (have you ever asked what happens to
little boy dairy cows?). Some day that person you are condemning for
choosing to eat their alpacas might be me. I know a lot of llama farmers
who routinely fill their freezer from their own herds, and yes, I know some
alpaca farmers who do it as well. It is a choice they have the right to
make.

A farm in IL was given an alpaca. This animal was slaughtered, and
ended up in their freezer. Be VERY careful in dealing with North of the
Rock Alpacas. Linda
