Here’s Magic. He’s now 4 months old but is already as big (or bigger) than a couple of the 6 month olds. Magic is from my beautiful girl Maralyn who is a lovely calm natured alpaca.

In any case, I often find them having spitting and screaming matches with each other across the fence.

On alpaca meat and cannibalism

June 3rd 2008 00:48

I read a book a few years ago “The Last Tribes on Earth” by Paul Raffaele, in which he journeys deep into the jungles of Papua to meet the Korowai people. They have been living happily in the jungles for thousands of years and they have no qualms about eating humans.
