Other animals are more random, eg, I am not sure why we have hamsters as pets as opposed to eating them. Does anyone eat hamsters?

Horsemeat was eaten quite commonly until recently, even in the West. It was the staple of England's diet during World War II. And guinea pigs (a form of hamster) are a delicacy in Peru, and taste like rabbit. Good eating.
