Unecessary. Culture or not it's harsh.

[HamCrescendo]

I couldnt give a shit about the eating of it. It's just that the attraction seems to come from laughing and poking at the half dead thing.


I'd probably eat a still live fish if it tasted good and would swim around in my guttywuts eating my poo.

[the acid never lies]

Tbf this isn't a whole lot crueler than many fishing methods employed today - or even say the conditions of battery farmed chickens - hey, everyone want chicken so the farmers have to keep up right?

Yeah looking at this makes me squirm - I'm not about to start calling people hypocrites because I am perfectly happy to avoid thinking about how my food got onto my plate but bear in mind that shocking as this looks, there's plenty going on here to match it.

Yeah it's harsh but these people haven't got any concept of harsh in terms of other animals. Here in Thailand the northern people think nothing of cooking a Snake by holding it in a fire whilst still living. I even saw a report on the news which told people that some Snakes are still poisonous after using this technique (be careful) Even human life doesn't have the same value. Buddist culture puts a different emphasis on death. A student of mine had family members die in a Theme Park accident, she merely shrugged it off and explained that she got free tickets for life
When Isaac Hayes and Michael Jackson died my girlfriend couldn't understand why i was sad.

[mawltea]

saw this yesterday, fucking savage.

I really don't see the need for this, I'm no vegetarian, I don't normally get vocal about eating animals, it's all part of the food chain, but doing it this way is just cruel and unneccessary. We developed humane ways to kill animals for food yonks ago, so why go back to being stnuc to animals?

Well, hate to be the annoying vegetarian bastard who always has to point it out, but the socalled "humane ways of killing" aren't always so humane, and you wouldn't believe the amount of cruelty and unnecessary harm that is done to animals each and every day in every single country on this planet. Check this video out if you feel like it (try ignoring Alec Baldwin sensationalist commentary);

And yeah, some of this stuff looks horribly cruel, and most people would argue it doesn't happen like this wherever they live - I say think again. This is a 12 minute long video. Animal cruelty is a 24 hour long business every single day, this isn't the "top of the worst" or anything remotely close to it, this is day to day life in the meat industry. Norway's meat industry is said to be one of the more "humane" meat industries in the world, yet, a documentary about the biggest slaughter/meat production chain over here aired a couple of years ago, it showed motion pictures even more horrible than in the socalled "sensational" "meet your meat" movie shown above. I've had friends working in the business who have stopped eating meat after having worked there, saying It's the nastiest of businesses. And it's not really too hard to believe.

I think that if we're going to go for the whole "food chain"-argument, we should at least keep animal suffering to a minimum, we shouldn't breed them and store them for consumption. Hunting with a bow and arrow sounds like the more fair option to me, if you really have to eat meat.

There, angry veggie rant over.

btw, disclosure, I'm one of those much hated vegans, big ups to all who keep an open mind and to all those looking out for our animalz friends out there

Poor fish.

[prisoner]

IT'S A FISH.

you know they get eaten alive all the damn time in the wild right?

ever seen a lions attacking prey?

this guy i know owns a hawk that he trains, he feeds it small rodents and the bird just rips them apart, eats them whole, while they are still alive.

it's part of the world we live in.

[DZA]

Hate fish

Aye but when there's a human element involved it's not right because we have a higher state of intelligence. We can recognise the fact that a life has physical and mental feeling. We know that the fish is genuinely suffering. Humanity is a quality we should embrace as a species of intelligent beings and we should respect that with being as humane as possible.

Asian culture is gnarly and we appreciate that they have a skewed approach to dealing with every day matters compared to our Western ideals but come on to fuck, to fry a live fish and then eat it writhing in agony on a plate isn't human. You're fucked up if you think otherwise.

thanks, but yeah, we've established it's a fish

It's part of their world, not ours, we don't live in the wild anymore if you hadn't noticed, although by the way folks act it's sometimes hard to tell

[Pedobear]

Fish are too old

oh that's such bullshit. "it's their culture" etc. they eat octopus live too. where are your tears for them? get off your high horse.

honestly i don't think we have a higher state of intelligence. we just pretend too.

and how do you know that the fish is genuinely suffering? what evidence can you present?

they only thing i don't get is what does eating the fish live accomplish? i can't imagine it tastes any better.

[Pistonsbeneath]

i'd imagine it has more vitamins alive...it certainly does raw
