Deep fried and alive
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 12:00AM In order to keep the carp alive chefs cook its body but wrap its head in a wet cloth to keep it breathing, before covering it in sauce and serving in on a plate.

thats just fucked up. Commie scum.
I'd like to rap those bitches up and dunk them in my new giant size turkey fryer. Mother fuckers!!!
I eat meat (a lot). I hunt. I hate PETA.
But this is cruel and pointless. What could possibly be the benefit of this?
I agree with Bugslinger. I eat meat, I hunt, and I hate PETA, but this is hard to watch...
In certain Asian cultures it is believed that the more an animal suffers before death the better quality and more nourishing the food. I believe some Japanese ethnic groups beleive this as well as some from China.
I was at onetime interested and involved in the importation and captive breeding of exotic reptiles. Of those collected from the wild for export, 99% go to Asian food markets. Chinease business men will pay $$$ for a rare delicacy to impress a client or for personal esteem.
I don't think there is anything wrong with causing animals pain as they are prepared for consumption, but this video is just gratuitous.
I can think of a number of backward cultural issues from that part of the world, i.e. use of animals by herbalists etc. I am sure we've all heard of using rhino horns and bear gallbladders to cure everything from Aids to a headache.
I'm a carnivore, hunter, fisherman and I own several guns. But I also have ethics, Moldy Chum just lost it's place in my "favorites" due to this unnecessarily ill post.
Wonder what the reaction would be if that was a steelhead. Disgusting.
I agree with all the above. There isn't much to add to what has been posted. But I think Moldy Chum should make some sort of disclaimer. The way it's just set ting there makes it look as if Moldy Chum is passively endorsing this shit. Just because it's got a fish in it doesn't make it Chum worthy.
Who gives a shit, ya kinda gross and I am also opposed to this form of cuisine, but should MoldyChum put a disclaimer up every Friday above the Friday Pin Up so that children don't look at some T & A.
Disturbing!
Probably caught it with a live rattlesnake. No difference imo causing suffering for no good reason.
And WOWI "I don't think there is anything wrong with causing animals pain as they are prepared for consumption,"
who would want to eat a carp?!!! YUK!
Delete this shit!
is this about fly fishing!!?? the love for our sport!? i dont' think so. Moldy chum lowerd the standard big time!
get some nice pics on the board instead of this shit.
Whatawanker,
Do you they provide anesthesia for cows when they are slaughtered? Lobsters when they are boiled alive? Or a qauil before you shoot it? Pain is part of the game if your going to eat other creatures, which is fine. But what we have in the video is that pain, and the realities of being in the food chain turned into a curiosity, with its novel cruelty front and center.
Just to clarify my point.
they should east Asian Carp - Great Lakes Problem Averted -
I hardly think Moldy Chum is endorsing this - they're just letting us know what's going on out there. It's the first I've ever heard of this practice.
Jonathan, politely, fuck off. That's the third shit-head comment I've seen from you in the last six minutes.
That is just wrong.
PETA is not amused and neither are MOST of your readers! I agree this has nothing to do with fly fishing and is SICK. You guys need to use a little better judgment!
Jeffrey said it best - just shedding light on a situation. Nothing more and nothing less.
JUST PLAIN WRONG.
And the Chinese are the screwed up idiots that are making all the shit we buy!
