Dog eating festival in China, now with more links/articles/pictures

I love Prawns, on a side note.

If the Lobsters didn't want to die, they should stay out of the traps. Thats what they get for being dumb fucks.

 

[JSt0rm]

Seems pretty non-committal to me.

It isnt for sure. However a dog for sure feels pain. That should be kept to a minimum. The idea that the meat tastes better when you have fear and pain in the animal is fucked up beyond reproach.

People gotta eat Man.

So do Kanamits.

After something dies, does it remember feeling pain? I don't think so, since the brain is dead. :hmm:

Are you saying that the pain a creature feels in meaningless because soon it will be in oblivion?

Nope, I have always just been curious about why we fear pain. Of course it sucks while its happening, but when you are dead, poof its gone and you don't go around suffering from it.

Being boiled alive or having your guts cut out of you will you are still alive is not what I would consider to be normal levels of pain.

Meh, I see nothing wrong with it, once it isn't a health hazard.

exactly; this dude was probably alive 30 seconds ago.

The lobster thing is equally as cruel. I never agreed with it and I'm surprised it's even legal here. We are better than that and should not accept that as being normal. Some say they can't feel pain, but how the hell do we know?

Chicken are also subjected to similar abuse. Some slaughterhouses don't kill them properly then they are thrown in a vat of boiling water to remove feathers. There really needs to be tougher regulations. On the other hand, you put too much regulations, and these food processing companies just move their operations to China. So it's a touchy game.

In general though it's not as bad here as in China, but it's not perfect here either.

Of course not, but like I said when you die, I think its like it never happened.

 

[JSt0rm]

See: ortolan

and its been illegal since 1999.

 

[JSt0rm]

Of course not, but like I said when you die, I think its like it never happened.

I think I understand what you are trying to say but I just dont agree with it.

 

[feralkid]

It most definitely happened.

You seem to be implying that brutally torturing something is o.k. as long as you ultimately kill it.

That is seriously messed up.

No, torturing someone is okay, as long as you get information that is ultimately helpful to the country... Everyone knows that!

Oh come on lol.

 

[zinfamous]

I have ZERO issues with people eating them

what I have issues with is how they are inhumanly killed - that shit needs to stop

this. all animals are cute and intelligent in their way and we eat all of them...but there is no point to this festival and the way they treat their animals.

these countryfolk are clearly fucked in the head, I think.

 

[darkewaffle]

Personally I do have a problem with boiling crustaceans alive - though I'm actually not sure how effective it is to 'pierce the brain' or whatever it might be either that is supposed to be a 'quick kill' before doing so. I hear you can induce a sleep in them by placing them in the freezer/fridge first as well. I just avoid eating them myself.

I don't even like using live bait when fishing, though my dads buddies usually insist. I think nature is cruel enough to itself, as intelligent beings we have both an obligation and the privilege to do better.

Oh, no, you, didn't.

The first really unsettling thing I ever watched was the Faces of Death series, which had just come out on VHS at the time. I don't want to completely spoil it for others that hadn't seen it, but it involves eating a live monkey. A lot of it was admittedly faked, though. But the monkey scene looked real, and it was poor quality stock footage at that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faces_of_Death

This bit is unusual.

The first three starred Carr as "Dr. Gröss", although The Worst of Faces of Death (released between installments III and IV and consisting of highlights from the first three installments) instead featured Schwartz's brother, James Schwartz, as "Dr. Louis Flellis". Flellis explains that he accidentally killed "Dr. Gröss" while operating on him the prior week. However, in Faces of Death IV, Flellis explains the absence of Dr. Gröss by stating that he had killed himself, having been driven insane as a result of witnessing so much death. The reality is that Michael Carr did kill himself, in 2002. Carr's body was found dangling from the ceiling inside a hotel on 12/31/2002. He hanged himself for unknown reasons.

live monkey brain was outlawed in China at the turn of the century, as in 19th century.

 

[Humpy]

Accidentally saw 3 seconds of video of someone burning a dog to death with a propane weed burner. Comments said it was Chinese.

Pretty hard not to judge an entire culture/country after seeing that. In fact, with a lot of what goes on in the world I would support increased drone strikes on as many of these shit hole countries as necessary.

I'd start with parts of the US so people would have a clear understanding.

In china they eat dogs, in africa they eat bugs, etc. Culture people...
