ADD “ Early accounts from Spanish settlers' state that Guinea pigs were the preferred sacrificial animal of the Inca people native to Peru. [1]These claims are supported by archeological digs and transcribed Quechua mythology[2], providing evidence that sacrificial rituals involving Guinea pigs served many purposes in society such as appeasing the gods, accompanying the dead, or reading the future.[3] AFTER

“The Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped animals and often depicted the Guinea pig in their art.” 2604:3D09:187F:BEF0:5427:F161:93EB:6C90 (talk) 21:05, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove “which subsists on the family’s vegetable scraps.” In the sentence “They continue to be a food source in the region; many households in the Andean highlands raise the animal, which subsists on the family’s food scraps.”
