Culturally, Peru has a unique perspective about raising alpacas. Veterinarian services are rare and expensive for most Peruvian alpaca ranchers. Peruvian alpaca breeders are looking for the strong alpaca to achieve maturity, in order to create a strong herd for the future. This is why they offer very little preventative care for young alpacas.

It is not practical or ethical to kill alpacas simply for their hides, because there is so much economic benefit by shearing them for their wool.
