6 animals that are eaten alive

Here are 6 animals that are eaten alive in some cultures around the world:

In some cultures, particularly in Japan, fish prepared as Ikizukuri is served while still alive. The fish is sliced precisely and arranged on a plate, with diners consuming it as it twitches.

Similar to octopus, squid is also consumed alive in some cultures. A popular Korean dish is San-nakji, where diners are served with a live squid that has been chopped into pieces.

Live octopus, often called San-nakji, is a delicacy in Korea. The tentacles continue to move and can even latch onto diners with their suckers, which is considered part of the exciting eating experience.

Oysters are filter feeders that are typically eaten raw. Since they lack a complex central nervous system, it's believed they don't feel pain in the same way more complex animals do.

While it's not uncommon to see shrimp served cooked and peeled, some cultures enjoy them while they're still alive. They might be dipped in a sauce or condiment before being eaten.

Insects like grasshoppers, locusts, and ant eggs are consumed live or fried in some cultures, particularly in Southeast Asia. They're often sold as street food or snacks.

It's important to note that the concept of pain perception in animals is complex. While some of these animals may not feel pain in the same way humans do, there are still ethical considerations surrounding this practice.
