Chinchillas are a member of the rodent family and were once abundant in South America. Excessive hunting greatly reduced their populations. Today, hunting is forbidden and the animals are protected by the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Animals.

It is indeed illegal to hunt chinchillas as a food source.
