Peekabooitzme Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 STOMPer Minzy was disturbed by an online video which shows how this super-fresh frog sashimi was actually prepared in front of the customer while the frog was still alive. She felt that this is an extreme act of cruelty to animals.In the video, the frog is kept alive in a kitchen until someone places an order. The frog is then stabbed by the chef's knife and stripped clean of its inedible innards. However, the frog can be seen twitching and its eyes blinking while served on an iced platter. After the sashimi bits are taken off, the rest of the frog is simmered to make a soup.The frogs used in this dish are bullfrogs raised specifically for cooking and therefore safe and delish. The restaurant reportedly ships in only about five frogs per day. The STOMPer wrote:"I feel sick watching how the woman could still smile and eat the sashimi while the frog was looking at her."I love to eat frog porridge, especially frog legs! I'm fine with eating raw food but I definitely wouldn't want to see the frogs still twitching around on my plate and eventually die before my eyes."The poor frog in the video is being tortured alive and made to watch its own innards get ripped and placed on a serving platter. How cruel is that?" Source: Stomp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lindaalynn Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 ^ That's not funny. It's disgusting and cruel. WTF.People are freaking sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nathalie1430291583 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Wow, that's so wrong on many levels. Oh my gosh, I can't believe how people can still sit there and enjoy eating it. What's make it really sad is that the frog's eyes was still twitching even though it was already stabbed and placed on the platter to be eaten. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_taRa__03 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 How is this any different from those live fishes used for sashimi or live lobsters being boiled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PingFaun Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think with fish sashimi and lobster sashimi, at least they're not alive! And they don't watch themselves get eaten! It's horrible that the frog was just laying there and it couldn't just... die without the suffering. Though clear of all his meat and innards, it might just be the nervous system working that still causes twitching in the eyes? I don't know, but still sick on the behalf of the woman eating it.

chronicrhythm Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Eating things fresh and raw has been apart of asian culture for centuries. I don't see any reason to stop/change a tradition over some people who are squirmish about seeing it gutted. We're not killing it and throwing it away. It gets eaten. These animals would probably get eaten in the wild alive also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kerriganton Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 That is really cruel.I don't think I can eat something that is starting straight at me while they are still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kaipify Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wow.. I am sorry but the first time i watch this video's expression was.. :-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AngelAngel Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 But I think frogs' bodies still move shortly after just being killed like s cockroach. The video doesn't really show how they handle it so they might have already killed it and the blinking is just nerves acting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SoSoSoshi Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 hahahaahahaha WOW. cruel to us, but its their culture so respect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tokurei Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 for the frog to still be alive after being cut open etc. is pretty impossible, and it moving is most likely just due to the nervous system still twitching,but i would still be incredibly creeped out if it moved when i ate it :c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerdamsel Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 this should be banned. goodness. it's a good thing i'm not a chef. i can't take things like these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kassandrax3 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I don't see a problem with this. The movements can be due to the nervous system after death like a lot of other animals. Unless someone can prove definitively that the frog is still alive, with brain activity, I consider this similar to raw octopus legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest motherducker Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well, (correct me if I'm wrong) it's part of most, if not all, Asian culture to have their customers watch their food be prepared and show how fresh their food is. That's why the frog is being gutted alive because, well, how fresh can it get if your food is still moving? :/Although for me, I'd be really creeped out to have my food staring back at me and still moving (which is probably from nerves).

Guest kitty0lover Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thats cruel. I don't mind eating frog. Just at least kill it before you eat it. The frog is still alive.Chop the head off first at least. Don't want that thing looking at me while I devour it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest koregg Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I guess I can't have a problem with their culture..but watching that, I felt terrible for the frog, and just watching the guy just peel its skin off -shudders- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaispink Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 WTF!? How can they do that? Just because it's a frog doesn't mean it won't feel sh!t!!!! I hope that place gets shut down! Damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
