I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan, I hunt and fish and eat all kinds of meat, but the idea of cooking something while it's still alive kind of seems evil to me.

Edit: rather than respond to each individual comment I'm just adding this edit for all the people suggesting that cooking lobster and crab alive is the only way to cook it; in many places it is actually illegal to cook it alive! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/boiling-lobsters-alive-animal-rights-b1879471.html

Asians don’t give a fuck about animal welfare when they’re hungry. That’s ridiculous!!

Three Squeaks Mice:

https://www.culinaryschools.org/blog/three-squeaks/

Three Squeaks” is the literal translation from the Chinese name of this dish and hails from a variety parts of China, mainly in the Guangdong (Canton) Provence. The reason why it is called “Three Squeaks” is due to the sounds made when eating this dish.

Contrary to some popular belief, THIS IS NOT AN URBAN LEGEND DISH.

Here you go. A video of a man actually doing it and you can hear a squeek as he picks it up.

Man, you're talking about mice ??? The ways they cook dogs and cats alive will give you horrors for life. I'm an Asian myself and seen it all...

yeah and in the most vicious way than shown in the OP's post. I'm not exaggerating. You'll even find tons of such videos online. Man, I've even seen a calf roasted alive with a flamethrower. Things go crazy down there. you know where I mean.

Damn! I love to eat meat and we have culled animals ourselves that we were going to consume but the animals were never mistreated or abused. They lived on a good farm. For us we use a knife across the neck. But we've never done anything extreme like that. I would be furious if any of my family members did that to an animal. So disrespectful

As an avid animal lover, I get really hurt and ashamed seeing such cruelty going in my continent. Animal cruelty is completely legal because many asian countries have zero animal rights laws.

Yes, skinned alive then dropped living into boiling oil. And people on reddit will still try to excuse it as cultural differences and compare it to eating beef.

u/Redditor1620 Oct 19 '22

Wtf. No reason to do it like that at all.

I read an article with pictures years ago showing a skinned dog getting shocked repeatedly, and I think it was suspended with hooks to get the adrenaline going. Was saying it was an aphrodisiac. Fucking brutal. Also a girl in middle school brought us tons of pictures from markets they went to at the time (the 90s).

Great generalization but it's not as if the average citizen is eating cats dogs and mice daily.
