I hate to stereotype but Asians often push the limits of what is socially acceptable when it comes to their culinary practices.  I remember seeing a documentary one time of cooks preparing a cat and beating it over the head to kill it then dipping it in hot water to remove the fur... before hanging it on a rack by the neck.  I almost died with grief when I saw the poor thing still twitching on the line... and this was no reflexive movement of the muscle I talking about... it clearly wasn't dead.  So sad to say this video doesn't surprise me.  Them seem to have this idea that they should eat it near tuh alive as possible... not sure why.

I should note that from what I'm told it's only a small minority that actually eat dog and cat... or that they don't eat it as much as rumored.  Sorta like we eating wildmeat... especially lappe and manicou.  That beyond the pale for most of us... same with them and the household pets, lol

Kind of sadistic really.

anyone been to an abattoir?  or for that matter, ever see how kosher and halal animals are butchered?

a lady I know works for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.  Her job is to monitor how food animals are killed and she enforces rules that are meant to keep the killing as 'humane' as possible.  Every so often she will relate her experiences in trying to enforce the rules while working within the constraints of religious freedom at Halal and Kosher facilities. Sometimes, she is almost in tears when she tells me the stories.

In the west, some practices have been socially sanitized by hiding them from public view.

Having said that, I still like by steak medium raw; my lobster boiled, and my fish steamed.

Like allyuh don't want to to eat fish again. It look like a B horror movie. I have been in the old abbatoir where the current market is. I saw them slaughter pigs. Lots of blood. The smell of blood. Not everybody can handle it. I just wanted to experience it. Just pray in your next live you don't come back as an animal. Especially an edible one.

so true. industrialized farming in the west take de biscuit for animal cruelty and urbanization keeping people ignorant. hopefully this local food trend get people back in touch with where their food comes from.

If it was a high-pitched squeal then likely it was ah pig... cow doh bawl so.  We had some neighbors in de back ah we used tuh buy ah small pig every February tuh fatten him up fuh Christmas.  Not sure how many local health laws they violated, but they sure did slaughter him right dey in de back ah we.  Dem poor pig used tuh bawl fuh dey lives boy 

I used tuh walk past de ole abbatoir on Auzonville Rd in Curepe... near de old Exodus panyard.  Still, all that slaughter talk ent have nutten to do with what going on on dat plate dey... that is half-cooking ah animal alive we talking about.  Slaughter practices is another matter.

Is that a prelude to cannibalism???

[1st touch]

All yuh sure that real and not a hoax or something else (prop)?
Them people getting real kicks and while it look like a fish breathing through the mouth, nothing else moving. I would believe it would still be able to beat up a bit, if it can open the mouth like that and when they eating from it...I doh think fish can be paralyzed or can they?

just saying
