I bonked a fish (rainbow trout) two days ago. About 45 minutes later I picked it up to gut it and it twitched and nearly jumped out of my hands. It was definitely dead.
 
Need a bro to describe that frog video, because after that wall of reactions, no way I'm clicking it.

It is a frog being flayed and gutted alive, but only its back half. The front half gets to sit on the dinner plate and watch itself being eaten.

Cuts the frog, skins a frog, removes some organs, chops it up a bit, puts it in a bowl with some other stuff, then the lady eats it, while the frog is looking at her like wtf yo.

Aww fuck it's even worse than I thought and I clicked the video, just couldn't standing watching it anymore.
 
Can't believe someone would eat a frog. They are gentle creatures. They wouldn't hurt a fly.
What's funny to me is that their population is in decline worldwide due to global warming and pollution, yet people continue to eat them around the world like no ones business.
 
I like the one where this guy beheads a snake (and nails its head to a stick, as they bite back), and as he skins it, the snake body still tries to coil itself around his arm.

I'll try and find the video... sure someone posted it on GAF, even.
 
I guess I COULD have put a warning on that video. But considering the thread and post it was in response to, you probably could of guessed the content. RIP frog.
 
There was just a study where they concluded that fish probably have a highly sensitive sense of pain ie. they feel more pain than mammals for example. So that old wives tale about fish not feeling pain might not be true.

Whether this is true or not, this is why I don't really feel comfortable going on fishing trips with my wife's side of the family. On the few times I have been, I have seen enough hooks left in the fish and the line cut because they couldn't get it out, hooks in the eye, nasty cuts and bleeding from the hook, etc. They catch and release so the whole thing seems incredibly pointless.
 
The really fresh stuff is still squirming around, even when sliced up. Including stuff like squid, octopus, lobster, prawns. You see it all the time on Bourdain's shows.

Delicious.
 
I don't get the overreactions. Have you people ever been fishing?

Are we really that removed from our food supply?

Those are all involuntary reaction (the frog trying to crawl away on the plate probably is too, but his head is intact so I'm not sure). But here the upper body is kept intact and "alive" purely for theater. I think that's the difference for me. Not a whole lot of respect in that.

It's not so much that they don't feel pain.
The way it was described to me was that there are two kinds of pain; the kind of pain you feel when you get cut (instant) and the kind of pain that persists after from the cut. It was said that fish didn't experience the latter, whether or not that has been debunked I do not personally know.
