Whoa... vid?

Never gutted a newly caught fish, have you?
You can rip all of it's intestines and it'll still be moving around in the sink(or where ever you do it) for a while.

Looks pretty funny if you have a macabre sense of humor.

you cant even compare guts hanging out to a dangling head and flapping spine

Death by Marriage has to be the cruelest and most painful of all.

I saw sharks on tv get yanked onto a boat, have their fins cut off, then get dumped back into the ocean where they fall to the bottom and die.

Sharks have a supremely high threshold for pain, that's part of what makes them so badass.

Potatoes. They are skinned alive, cut, and boiled.

They are technically dead seeing how as they have been severed from the rest of the plant that they are apart of.

I vote for minks. They get the anal-electrocution.

Nah they are still alive if the paranchyma cells on there are still alive.
<- just had a lvl2 bio final today.

Why does the male praying mantis allow himself to get killed by the female after sex? Is the female of the species bigger or something? Why don't they just run away when they see the female about to kill them?

I just don't get it.

The female IS bigger, but there are other reasons for the head-ripping...

A lot of the inhibitory hormones/messages/whatever you want to call them, originate from the brain. Simply put, when you rip off a mantis's head, it is able to survive for quite a time, and is much less inhibited, meaning it will mate with gusto.

Fish don't have brains anyways.. They just have a ganglia that controls motor movement and that's about it.

Those animals that get skinned alive for their fur. They are still alive after they have been skinned and just lay there to die a slow death.

That doesn't happen. There was a video made about that, but they were paid to dramatize it like that by PETA.

I think the comparison is fair enough when the fish opens it's mouth and you can see right through it because most of the belly is gone

Often in front of multiple-eyed witnesses.

They thrash around just for the hell of it?

Reaction to stimulus does not necessitate sentience.

EDIT: I heard if you put crabs into cold water and boil the water instead of dropping them into boiling water, they don't try to escape as the water heats up.

Snails and slugs. When I pour salt on them they start to ooze and bubble and shrivel up from dehydration.

That's frogs. Crabs can't escape either way.

They try to get out the top.
