Fuck eating any meat (obviously) but consuming things live is the next level of fuck you.

Like what the fuck is the point? To be fucking gross? If you're going to kill a living thing (and you shouldn't even do that really unless it's going to kill you) then do it fast.

I don't care if it's "just an oyster" that shit is a special kind of messed up.

I'm glad some of those assholes that eat live octopi choke to death. Sick fucks.

I thought you were talking about Ikizukuri. It's such a fucked up way to treat a living creature and it's all for aesthetics.

Eating an animal alive is pointlessly cruel, and I wish that seeing it would break the illusion for people about the pointlessly cruel things animals experience behind closed doors.

(Major CW for Ikizukuri if you try to look it up.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikizukuri

Ikizukuri isn't live though, it's only as cruel as every other kind of animal-eating
They bonk the fish and they cut it up, it's only moving because of the same reason a 5 minute post mortem dead guy has muscle twitches

I can appreciate that it's not alive, but I want to point out that the fact that it being dead, it still looks alive. It's just I thought seeing a moving creature in a visibly injured state would be too disturbing to want to eat.
