Fried fish eaten alive

Chefs from China have worked out how to keep a fish alive while it is being fried, and then served to customers. The video shows an example of such a fish being eaten whilst still alive and moving.

Warning: the video may be too graphic for some of you...personally, I was disgusted and sickened by it :X . I thought I'd seen it all as far as animal cruelty was concerned...but it turns out some people have just found a way to sink even lower :( .

According to The Telegraph, the body is cooked while the head is wrapped in a wet cloth. Are these chefs sadists or something :X ? Apart from the token novelty (that is, if you don't care about animal cruelty), there's no point in keeping it alive!

Seriously...WHY do they do this?! Surely to them, the novelty factor isn't worth the negative publicity that they would get when those who cared about animal cruelty found out?

The nerves in the lizard's tail or something like that.


Geckos, skinks, and other lizards, and some salamanders that are captured by the tail will shed part of the tail structure and thus be able to flee. The detached tail will continue to wiggle, creating a deceptive sense of continued struggle and attracting the predator's attention away from the fleeing prey animal. The animal can partially regenerate its tail over a period of weeks. The new section will contain cartilage rather than bone, and the skin may be distinctly discolored compared to the rest of the body. The technical term for this ability to drop the tail is caudal autotomy.
Autotomy in lizards is enabled by special zones of weakness at regular intervals in the vertebrae below the vent. Essentially, the lizard contracts a muscle to fracture a vertebra rather than break the tail between two vertebrae. Sphincter muscles in the tail then contract around the caudal artery to minimize bleeding.

Very interesting getaway mechanism. I suppose only being able to do it once is a bit of a disadvantage, but still...
