Live sushi?

[britishboy]

What do you think of eatting sushi while the fish is alive? I wouldn't purposefully but who cares? it's a replaceable fish and it's peoples culture.
Sure it looks bad but it's a fish and it's their culture.

The fish is dead. It just isn't cooked.

I see nothing wrong with eating a fish alive, though I find that a bit odd...eating a wriggling, living fish...not even cooked...but that's just me. You're right, it's part of a culture. I hate sushi anyways, and would definitely not eat a live fish, but that's me. I wouldn't eat a squirming insect either (I know some people like eating live insects). But all in all, there's nothing wrong with "live sushi". If people enjoy it, good for them

we're in agreement, I actually don't like most fish and certainly not sushi but it is peoples culture and I hate people forcing the western way on everyone if that makes sense?

[sqishy]

Not for me. See nothing against people eating it (as long as the fish isn't having a hell or a ride being eaten), but I am not really up for that sort of thing :P .

I think you should kill the fish before eating it, I mean it goes through pain when you eat it, animals can suffer too.

Please keep this thread on topic and have a decent discussion, if I see it de-railing it will be closed.

I think that's downright cruel. Imagine being completely alive and aware, not to mention being unable to breathe, while some other creature is picking you apart and eating you. That's a terrible way to die. At least have the decency not to torture the poor creature more than necessary.

It's a fish, it is food and if it's your culture no one should stop you eatting it how you like

YES! That is completely cruel and inhumane!

What seems to be the problem? Food is food... diferent people=diferent tastes

I think a good way to look at this for you is to imagine a far more advanced species from say Mars. Let's call this species umm... The Nameless. :P The Nameless come upon earth in their invisible spaceships and start "fishing" for humans from their spaceship with a teleporter beam. They use these humans as food and over time they develop the convention of eating humans alive and fully aware. They'd lock them in cages and transport them in their own bodily wastes to eating establishment. There those people are served alive and the eaters just leisurely shave pieces off of them and pop it in their mouth. Nothing is done because the humans are seen as inferior and incapable of any coherent thought or feeling. We are replaceable people. They are just people. This is essentially what we do to fish. We are the Nameless. If we must eat animals, it is our duty to be humane about it and to use absolutely everything.

The nameless don't sound very nice:P but on a serious note, I agree it is barbaric and makes me wince when I seen the meat pulled from it but if it is someones culture we shouldnt interfere, at the end of the day the fish is food to serve our taste buds and if that's what your into I dont think we should interfere. they're just fish

YES! That is completely cruel and inhumane!

it is a fish, hardly a big deal we shouldnt force our ways upon them, they're just fish

[Abyssal Echo]

Its not my thing but,I don't have a problem if someone likes Sushi. I have to agree with Jay I think its cruel to cut up the fish while its still alive.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

I agree with Jay and Matt on this one. That is animal cruelty, eating a live animal.

With that logic you might as well eat a dog, I mean it's just a dog, right?

And we're just humans to the Nameless.

Fish have nervous systems and instincts. They will panic if they can't breathe, they will panic if they feel pain. They will try to survive and there is absolutely nothing, not one thing, they can do to defend themselves or prevent what's happening from happening and that's a terrifying and cruel death to put any living creature through. Fish is not food until it's dead and cooked, and even then it's debatable how humane that is. The ocean is not filled with food just waiting for us to eat it. It's fine if you like eating fish, but why eat it alive? That just seems unnecessary, not to mention a bit risky for anyone eating it, also not to mention what the fish undergoes.

And, sorry, but I'm not going to accept that culture justifies slowly torturing a living being to death. I find something very wrong with that. I fancy myself understanding, accepting, and tolerant of every and all cultures, beliefs, and people in general, but I draw the line at deliberately or knowingly harming another living creature, especially in such a way as this.

I'd like to add that the technology exists to grow meat now from cells. We don't need to kill to get meat anymore. A bit more research and money is needed, but in the long run it would lead to cheaper, safer, and more humane food as Well as be better for the environment. Thought this was kind of relevant. Much love,

Chris :)

i have had living fish. i personally have nothing against it. i have nothing against what people eat.

yes the concept is a bit strange but it isn't that bad

yeah thats not quite as advertising especially for the majority of people that aren't vegetarian

[Sogeking]

I have nothing against peoples taste in food. A bit odd if you ask me, I personally wouldn't do it, doesn't mean I'm going to stop them.

Animals get eaten alive in nature all the time, why is it any different when we do it?
