After being deep fried. You can eat it too. WARNING This might upset viewers of a nervous disposition.[^]
Henry Minute Do not read medical books! You could die of a misprint. - Mark Twain Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is.

If that ain't animal cruelty, I don't know what is. :wtf: /ravi

Where do you find such things, Henry? And more importantly, what kind of sick, twisted mind would perpetrate such an incredibly cruel act? X|

The problem is, that such values are not universal, obviously. I have no idea what would make people in China think it's ok to treat a living thing in such a manner, but most probably our objections would appear strange to them just as well. Just guessing, but it probably is like the good old christian approach: Animals have no soul and therefore we can do with them whatever we want.

That is obscene: there is no reason to perpetrate such cruelty: killing and eating is one thing, that is quite something else. X|

"Shut up, Yoda, and just make yourself another toast." - Obi Wan KenobiThat's a philosophy I can't accept; that life other than our own kind is irrelevant. Seeing this makes me feel very disturbed to find our government treating China as a Most Favored Nation in trade agreements. If this is considered normal and acceptable in China, I want no further dealings with their barbaric, neanderthal "culture." I'm no Bible-thumping Christian redneck - no church would have me and my beliefs, because I ask questions they can't answer - but this is so wrong that I wouldn't care to be identified as a member of the same specie as the people who dreamed up this dish.

I just googled the subject of the OP as I wasn't aware of the 'Fish' epithet. It was practically the only hit. Pretty dreadful stuff.

Who says it is? Every Chinese person I know (from the Chinese mainland, not emigrees -- and I know quite a number) would be every bit as horrified by this as you are. However, the Chinese people don't suffer so much from the "Oh, we've got to be kind to the creatures we kill and eat" syndrome that prevails in the West; they're far more pragmatic about it, and are actually aware that the packaged meat that they buy in supermarkets was once a cute, fluffy thing. This is over the top, though. Had the report said it were Japanese, I wouldn't have been the least bit surprised. They seem to think that stressing out an animal before killing and eating it makes it taste better, so many of their food animals are subjected to torture before being killed. Mind you, I also wouldn't be surprised if the report got it wrong, because the Chinese and the Japs, they're the same, aren't they?

No, this time the Japanese are innocent. In another report on TV I also heard that this is from China.

Yeah, they're speaking Mandarin; I just made that comment because it's more like something you'd expect from Japan. I'll have the Mrs mooch through Chinese pages, to see if it is something that's really "done", or if it's something that one psycho did and posted a video of. I imagine that the response from Chinese people will be just as horrified as ours.
