Yes, esp. in countryside people use to eat them, they say the meat is like pork. It is still very known but capybaras in the wild can host some deadly parasites, they do not kill the capybaras but people who eat their meat.

This is pretty interesting, I talked about it to my mom who was born and grew up in Brazil. Her grandfather had a farm and she said Capybaras are like Hogs in the US, you find wild ones all the time on farms and other rural areas. She also mentioned that people eat them which is sad :[

I don’t really think it strange that they’re given hot baths – they come from the Northern end of South America, which is a fair bit more tropical than most of Japan.
