ARRRGGGG!!! They are boiling and cutting up live crabs
Edited on Sat Feb-26-05 07:57 PM by RebelOne
on Iron Chef America. I am terrified of live crabs, but to see these animals tortured is unacceptable. It's awful that these poor animals are thrown into a pot while they are still alive. And then to see them hacked up while they are still thrashing around to me is animal cruelty.

On edit: They are also including veal dishes.

1. Iron Chef Octopus was the worst.
One of them fell on the floor and tried to crawl away. It was horrible.

5. It's odd,
I know meat eaters that were upset with the octopus episode. But really, death is death. The way chickens have their throats slit is IMHO a much worse way to die than a quick death. The thing is people just don't want to see it and if they don't see it, it doesn't exist. It extends to all things. The same reason the U.S. doesn't show coffins on tv.

3. I can't watch any of those shows, all I see is death and misery.
I've gotta take a break, all of this is making me feel sick today. Time to go exercise.
