Prisoners are accused of eating guinea pigs they took from an animal shelter in Australia.

The abandoned pets had been living at a shelter in Perth, Western Australia, when the inmates allegedly decided to turn some of them into food.

Now the Department of Corrective Services is investigating the ‘disturbing’ allegations, ABC News reports.

The low-security prisoners had been doing supervised work in the community as part of the Wooroloo Prison Farm’s Section 95 programme when the incident happened, it is thought. The investigation was launched after a prison worker found several guinea pig carcasses stored in a shed outside the facility’s perimeter, Western Australia’
