That ain't right, that just ain't right at all. That is just plain wrong! If you're gonna eat something, at least have the decency to put it out of its misery first.
I am a spear-fisher and my first concern after spearing a fish is to kill it as soon as possible so that it don't suffer... this is cruel and disrespectful to nature....
You can argue about whether the fish is really alive. But listen to the people on the video. They really BELIEVE the fish is alive while they are tearing and eating it up very very slowly-- and they LOVE that idea. Look at them prodding at it and shouting with pleasure each time it shows movement. They take such immense pleasure from the pain of others. If you were blindfolded, could you tell the difference in taste between a live fish and a dead fish? Do you really need to inflict such pain?
Usually i insult people living such comments, but somehow what you say is so true. Damn those people for being so heartless maybe one day when their spouses or kids or mums and dads die of aids of cancer then maybe we can throw him to the lions and let the lions pick on the dead body LOL.
I agree with what you're saying, but this was the first time coming to this restaurant and we had no idea how it'd be served. The fact is, there's not much we could have done to control how the chef prepares the fish. Since that's the way it was served, you can't really do much other than to be in awe of how bizarre having a moving fish is and laugh about it.
I don't think this is any different than throwing a live lobster in a pot of boiling water, or worse, the way we slaughter cows and pigs.
It's funny how we fondly imagine that the more we torture animals alive, the better their meat is going to taste. At the same time, we laugh at those who believed that the sun went round the earth. At least those people had better reasons for their wrong belief.
Well, the world is full of such injustices, and most of us are unfortunately unable to do much about them. At least we can start off by acknowledging these things rather than pretend they never happened. That is a good starting point.
@Dontgivafuck1000: Well, I sure hope so, man. But I just don't get why people are so OBSESSED with taste. A lot of what we call taste is ACQUIRED; it is not inherent in us. We condition ourselves to believe that something is tasty while something else is not tasty. Conditioning is why a Chinese person may not like Egyptian food and vice versa. People condition themselves to believe that dogs must be beaten to death in order to be tasty, monkeys must be eaten alive, etc.
Ya know, I really just want my food NOT to move. lol
I heard a story from a software engineer one time about his trip to a sashimi restaurant in Tokyo. He said the fish was looking at his chopsticks as he picked each and every piece of meat up. Sure, this seems illogical but then I wonder.. don't some places just slice up the muscle tissue leaving the organ systems connected? This would indeed mean the fish was alive. Guys, I will eat my sashimi in America or check first for live sashimi.
What defines the point of death? Are you truly dead when your body still moves? If your nervous system is still functioning are you still alive? There is no way we can ever say for sure. This is very similar to the debate about abortion. When does life begin and end? When is it sadistic murder or not? We humans walk a very fine line in our efforts to be ethical.
gross, how could you possibly enjoy your meal with a living creature dying at your dinner/lunch table? to top it off, poking fun at it while it's painfully dying? that's just plain cruel and disgusting. i don't think i'd be able eat anything at that table.
I understand how you feel. The meat was already cut from the fish into small cubes. The fish was served as decoration, so that you can see exactly how fresh it is. At this point, the fish is no longer alive, but still has the reflex nerves that causes it to move like that.
Would it be much different if the fish were left dying in another room? I will say that it was the freshest fish I've ever had and was delicious.
Also, I wanted to point out that this is not very common in Japan. You'll hear how shocked and surprised the people are at the table. If you watch the other related videos, you'll hear how surprised other people are.
It is common in Japan, but not an everyday meal because it is expensive and exclusive.
People here were not, as you said "shock and surprise".they were "appreciating" the sashimi. This kind of recipe needs a very skillful chef to slice fish with extreme care and decorate it in a traditionally exclusive way. only a highly experienced masterful chef could do this job.
To poke fish and have fun with it at the table is NOT the intension of the recipe... people in this vid doesn't repect the meal and this is embrassing.
I DISSAPROVE OF LIVE SASHIMI BARBARIC SHOW! The aim of the Moral Study is to minimize suffering and use violence only when necessary. 'Live Sashimi' is a celebration of a slower-than-necessary death! Kill the brain then eat the meat! Ugh.
Its a piece of fish it cant feel anything right now you dumb retards. It IS dead those are just its nerves contracting. Its up in fishy heaven right now.
Yes. It is just a fish. They may not be suffering but any living creatures who have nerves must feel pain. Japanese loves to be entertained torturing. Look what they did to Chinese. I loved the old ancient Japan philosophy. Many will not understand that having a fish thats been sliced and yet kept alive for consumption is barbaric.
Did you know a secret underground ritual is being practiced in this age? Yes a very secret. 6 holes around a round table. They put a monkey through the hole and clamp it so they don't move. Then the top of the head is slice open. The monkey is still alive. Few minutes later 6 people enter the room and start eating at the monkeys brain while still alive. Live monkey sushi brain. So you asked where does it stop?
A culture that practice this ritual has no boundaries for compassion for life other then yourself.
It leads to human suffering. Think about what I just said before you start bashing me. Barbaric ages has passed. I am all for moving forward in human development. Ethically and morally. This ritual is endorsing cruelty by all means and many will argue for it. In the dark ages we did this due to lack of knowledge.
I'm pro-sashimi, being undecided about the ultimate diet of humankind (other than the fact its raw), so I only protest occaisonally against raw flesh materially on environmental grounds. However, morally, WHY WOULD YOU LAUGH AT THAT?? Yes, it is morbid to laugh!
Like I said in a recent video that's life, we eat meat. Tis a cruel fate to watch your flesh being eating by a large species known as man and at the same time being in extreme pain.
The fish is actually dead, it's just the reflex nerves reacting.
Fact of the matter is, in Japan, people are going to eat fish, and lots of it, that's inevitable. In order to eat it, along with any animal, it must be killed. This fish was simply killed right before it was going to be served.
I work with the things. I kill them and they DO NOT do that. That is an alive and kicking fish gasping out it's last breaths. I assure you very much so.
