eating live octopus is very common in Korea. actually this tradition has already been lasted for many years. i think we should try to understand and respect their culture rather than just complaining this on the basis of our own morality.

@khiran Thank you!!!! I completely agree with your comment. We wanted to try something locals enjoy -- to experience their culture. Best regards, Rob.

@RobBeTV i would consider it animal abuse, not to kill the animal, so it doesnt suffer

@sumotaby They can live for up to eight hours, I think.

Just cutting-up the octapus alive like that is just wrong. Its wiggling in pain.
