Get Me PETA, Stat!
The Sinner sends us this ghoulish news about how certain Bolivian miners kick off their Carnival celebration:
Simply to say thanks for staying alive for another year, the Oruro miners who eke out a living from abandoned state mines cut the hearts from llamas in a ritual offering to Mother Earth and Tio, who among Aymara Indians is the mythical owner of the mines.
And people wonder why we spit.

I always figured that llamas were a heartless lot.
