When possible its better to kill things as quickly as possible so they dont feel it. Duh. Obvious man to the rescue!
Nice that you like to put on airs about how 'different' humans are.
Wrong.
Eating something alive because I'm too stupid to know better? How can you get any more ethnocentric than that. Hah. You think human beings across the world are either morons or sadistic if they consume their food alive? I eat oysters alive. I've eaten fish alive. I've had live shrimp as well. You can be damn sure if I'm hungry enough I'll eat small mammals, lizards and anything else alive too.
The only reason I wouldn't eat something larger alive is because it poses too much of a threat while alive, and therefore killing it to consume it is probably necessary.
I don't understand, when did humanity start putting on airs about their food and decide to denigrate others for how they eat it? Try stepping a little bit outside your Western egocentric world and take a good long look.
Well I hope all of you kill your crabs, lobsters, clams, etc. before you boil them alive.
In the fish house at the lake I go fishing at - where people bring in their catch to filet them, the majority of people try to keep their fish alive until it reaches the fileting table.
there was a vid of a sushi chef filleting 1.2 a fish and putting it back in the tank and it was swimming around like normal even tho it was missing the entire left side of its body
That's china for you. They like to make their animals suffer as much as possible while making the food taste horrible instead of just killing it fast and cooking it properly like everybody else does.
I have nothing against killing animals for food, but when it's done in a way to make them suffer for nothing, is when I have a big problem. China will also skin dogs and cats alive too, they are heartless bastards.
this
the sequence goes:
catch -> kill -> clean -> cook -> eat
DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS. You may combine "catch" and "kill" into a single step if necessary.

yeah not clicking any of those
It is so American to respond to something like this with nothing but utter indignation.
And that indignation stems from an arrogance internalised that goes unnoticed by most Americans.
That's odd. Most Asians I know wouldn't touch that with a 10ft pole. That includes my lovely lady. These aren't people born here either.
This type of food isn't very common. I'd go as far to say it's consumed for for thrill than anything else. It's not cultural.

there is a famous cat restaurant in china. when someone orders cat lettuce cups they take a cat and dump it right in the boiling oil. they dont even kill it and gut it
I've tried giving a cat a bath before. Based on that experience I'm going to say that not many people are tossing cats into boiling liquid and not coming away badly burned.
