What about Italians eating cheese infested with maggots? There is no accounting for human tastes and cultural norms!
I don't get upset over anything that people eat as long as I don't have to try it. I just don't believe in cooking anything alive. Just because you can't hear them scream doesn't mean there is not pain.
Human tastes and cultural norms are one thing, what is not funny, is laughing at animals trying to escape being fried alive. Some cultures relish eating octopuses alive, and domestic dogs are still served up for dinner in some places. I don't find that amusing either, but this is little more than torture. A far cry from eating a maggot.
Well, that's 1:30 of my life I well never get back...

I suppose you think that keeping a fish or eel out of water while allowing it to suffocate during a very slow death is better than a much quicker death in boiling oil? Nether way is very palatable when you think about it but we humans impose this on them regularly.
Try dipping your own hand into boiling water and see if you feel like laughing.
Bet you won't.

Speak for yourself. This human doesn't. I can look any animal in the eyes and not feel like turning away because I'm not going to eat them.

So you could try having somebody tie a rope around your neck and see what it's like to suffocate slowly. Makes about as much sense as your comment doesn't it?

Good for you but reality is most humans around the world aren't as sainted as you.

A poor argument. Suffocating or drowning is much less painful than being boiled alive in oil. Ask any burn victim and also question someone who had CPR after drowning.

And I guess your an expert from practical experience, right?
