ANIMAL rights campaigners have criticised the Chinese over their extreme eating habits after a video of diners eating a live fish became a hit on the internet.

The film, in which a part-fried fish is shown breathing and wriggling on a plate as it is being slowly eaten alive in a restaurant, has been posted on the video-sharing website YouTube.

I have seen a moving lobster on a restaurant plate but that was just rigor mortis after it had been killed

    Fresh Fish! YUMMY!! What's more disgusting is the animal rights lovers offending an entire culture over one @!$%# eating carp. It is a little repulsive to eat a live fish without really having to, but I wouldn't point a finger at the Chinese. I don't understand how people can have so much love and respect for a carp, and none for another human being. It seems to me that their compassions are misplaced. Some of the people I've listened to(animal lovers) seem to think that humans don't have souls, but treat animals as though "they" do. hmmm. It comes down to something like animal worship. I love animals and nature myself but I draw the line at judging an entire culture because of the acts of a few. Some people believe in reincarnation. What if that live fish was someone like Jeff Dahmer reincarnated? Would we be so quick to jump to its defense? All I'm saying is: What we don't know, can't hurt us.
