"Fusiwe was very fond of dogs. For them dogs are almost humans. So many times I have seen women giving milk to dogs. When dogs die, they often weep and burn their bodies in the shapuno. Then they collect up the burnt bones and prepare them for the feast of ashes. Then they go hunting, as if it were for the death of one of their companions. They prepare. the bones, but they do not eat them. They mix the ashes with banana min gau in an old cuia, pour it all into a deep hole dug near to the big posts of the shapuno, and fill it in. They then break the cuia and burn it. The master of the house offers the game and the rest of the mingau to those who have come to take part. He does not eat, just as though one of his relatives had died. Those who have been invited make a mingau some time later and return the invitation. Thus they remember their dogs; but they do not always make the feast of the ashes." (Biocca, 1996:170)［ヴァレロ（上）1984:231-232］
"They rear many animals, but not to eat them. They have parrots, toucans, japim, and other birds. They also rear that small variety of wild boar; but often, when those boar grow up, they become fierce and run after people to bite them, but their masters do not kill them. Sometimes the others, if they find them in the forest, pretend not to recognize them and secretly kill them. They also take baby jaguars, but are much afraid to do so, for in the night the mother comes often in search of her young. If they kill a jaguar, they pull off strips of skin and tie them round their waists, especially of the children, so that they shall not pick up diseases, and so that the other jaguars shall not attack. When these animals of theirs die, they burn them, not inside the shapuno as they do with their dead and their dogs, but outside; and they do not pick up the bones, as they do in the case of the dogs."(Biocca, 1996:170)［ヴァレロ （上）1984:232］
