just another example that the world is going the wrong way !

so sad

This reinforces the fact that Japanese people don't have soul's.

Atleast it's not a whale this time...

how is it different from eating a live whitchety grub, or any other live food consumed throughout the world.

funny how because the japanese do it, that its wrong.

alive or dead, food is food. you need to stop anthropomorhising it, and just eat.

if it gets eaten, it doesnt matter how it dies. its dead. NOW .. if they just fried it and hurled it out the back, that would be a crime. but its prey. prey gets eaten. end of story. do you think the fish cares if its deep fried and eaten, or stabbed and sliced into a billion wafer thin pieces, or steamed ina can?

crikey other animals TEAR thier prey limb from limb to eat it. dont hear you complaining we should stop lions from eating gazelles. thats cruel!

ps, whale is delicious. screw those lazy giant cows of the sea!! if they dont want to be eaten, let them tell us!

No one in that video is speaking Japanese.

Disagree - we may have dominion over the animals as 'prey', but it doesnt excuse abject cruelty so that we may be 'entertained' by the pain of our sustenance.

Thanks for your opinion - it was valued.

Just because you're going to eat it, doesn't mean it's not cruel.

Kill things humanely, quickly.

I'm sure everyone would rather a bullet to the head than to be deep fried only to be chucked on a plate while you're still breathing so some knobhead can pull you apart slowly with his chopsticks.

I do quite a bit of fishing. After I filet a fish and remove the meat thier still breathing. I've put them back in the water to see what happens and they can live up to an hour afterwards. Sometimes if they don't stop flopping I jab a knife threw thier head.

Recenly I discoverd that if I cut thier throat and bleeed them out I don't get any blood in the meat. Usualy takes about 10 minutes for them to die.

Such is the circle of life in the animal kingdom. Humans arent the only animals that kill to eat.

In this case, it appears as though they're just playing with it. And even if they eat it, how long will it take for it to die? Why keep it alive? Does it taste that much better eating it alive than if it's been dead for 10 minutes?

Witchetty grubs can be eaten alive, as well as many other things, but generally they're killed very fast. In the case of the grub, one or two chews should do it.

If you watch a lion take down a gazelle, the lion goes for the throat of the animal to either break the neck or suffocate the prey. They don't pin it down and rip out the innards while the gazelle writhes in agony. It's killed as quickly as possible before being eaten, so it doesn't struggle.

This Japanese fish, though, this is just disgusting on so many levels. It doesn't make me hate the Japanese, I love their culture, but it just shows that people, in any culture, can be extremely cruel.

It is just a freaking fish people. One of the lowest forms of the food chain. It is not even self aware.

I see it as being a little offputting, i mean i personaly wouldn't eat it like that, but i'm afraid we have to accept other cultures methods.

I am not an angler, so someone will be able to correct me on this, but i watched a fishing programme the other day where they pan fried loads of baby eels live, and literaly ate them seconds after they hit the pan. They are apparently delicious.

Our British programme and waste of air time "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" regularly does the "Bushtucker challenge", which involves things like eating live things that would make a billy goat puke.

I think it's the fact that this fish is a lot bigger, and possibly because you can see it's face maybe?

I love sushi, but otherwise i like my meat totaly well done, so this doesn't appeal to me.

I would bet on other countries doing much worse though. I remember seing a video once of a Korean (i'm sure it was Korean) family preparing puppies for the family meal. The kids helped mum carry the live puppy to chopping board and do the business for dinner. All whilst still alive.

So whilst i don't like the way this fish is eaten, theres plenty worse out there.

CX.

The saddest thing about the film was listening to people laugh as the fish struggled for breath.

The comments above are very insensitive and show a lack of respect for other life forms.

When a hawk catches a smaller bird, the initial swift action of capturing prey is to break the neck in the instant of catching it. It is merciful.


With the fish displayed in the video above, it has been tortured in hot grease and left to be eaten alive.

This is repulsive. This is barbaric. The thought of treating creatures like this shows a lack of feeling...period. And those who find it entertaining or laughable are not quite human.
