Would you eat delicacies prepared only after inflicting tortures to the animals?

I've seen some really horrific videos about poultry production plants. As well as cows and pigs.

That is sad and if i know something like this, i would find it very diificult to eat something no matter how delicious it tastes. I had a similar issue many years back with eating Deer that my neighbours once got. Although they did not force feed it, the other form of torture in terms of tying it up or keeping a snarling dog near it to keep it in check. One person would come every second day,physically examine the deer till they thought it good enough to eat. That fateful day came and i no matter how much they praised and coerced me, I could not get myself to even look at the meat. I could not even imagine such a beautiful animal being tied up to get it healthy to then eat.

Hey mimpi~ I know I don't even have to say how I feel about this! I would like to take whoever is doing this to the geese and do it to them! How I would love to turn the funnels around and force feed the people that are feeding the corn to the geese and make them eat the corn until their stomachs burst or worse! I would never eat Foie Grae even if it tasted like the most wonderful delicasy in the world! I hate knowing how animals are harmed and tortured! I am so sorry that I ever tasted meat in my life because I feel like the biggest hypocrit now eating beef! I wish I had never learned to like the taste of meat ever!

It is so disturbing to read that! I get very upset upon hearing about mistreatment of any animal. I don’t even buy eggs unless they are free range because I have seen the appalling conditions caged hens are kept it. It is truly horrible, I haven’t and never will consume Foie Gras, I can’t eat lamb or veal and the rest I would rather not know the origins of!

Awwwh gosh you have got to be kidding! I never had Foie Gras but, I dont know if I could now.

i eat delicacies only made from milk that do not have any tortures inflicted to animals,who are sacred in india.have a good day

Foie Gras is definitely one of the strongest examples of mistreatment of an animal when it comes to a delicacy, but in reality, many of the other "standard" meats and meat products we consume come from animals that have been kept in less than satisfactory conditions before slaughter. I remember seeing a documentary showing a fish being cooked in Japan while it was still alive. Even when it was on the table and being picked at by the diners it was STILL gasping and moving about a little. "Fresh is best" is understandable, but seriously??? Pigs are fed massive amounts of food to fatten them up and are kept in tiny pens; chickens are kept in miniscule compartments and force fed hormones to make them lay eggs at an earlier age; cattle are bred purely for slaughter and are also kept in small pens until they're old enough to qualify as veal or standard beef..... If many of us knew exactly what went on behind the scenes with many of the meats we eat, we might think differently about our diets I reckon. The reality though is that I'm like most people and it's an out of sight, out of mind thing.

Hi Dear! It is really disgusting to note that animals are tortured and killed alive for preparing some delicacies. I would never eat such delicacies and would prefer to remain hungry instead, if these are the only dishes available. Such is our upbringing that we just cannot tolerate it an animal was tortured and killed for our food. Once I read in the newspaper that there is a place in china, where unborn infant's placenta is cooked and eaten.

I guess another one in that series would be veal, which before I knew how it was made, of course, I thought delicious, but now, I pass it by. Although I grew up on a dairy farm (and we ate the goats that were too old to give milk any more), times and methods have changed in how dairy cows are kept, too, which probably accounts for how awful most of the milk sold here in the US tastes these days. But I've recently moved back into dairy farming country, and the other day I happened to drive by while the cows which are usually free ranged were shacked into little bitty spaces (outdoors, but still confined for a time) apparently being given extra rations of feed with vitamins probably. With the milk cows it wasn't torture such as you describe, but it was disconcerting to me and I had to think a bit, as these farms are among the better ones in terms of animal rights. Plain old liver sausage is delicious enough for me, and although I do eat meat, I do so in moderation. It is very important to me that feed animals be treated as humanely as possible, both for the sake of the animals and also because a frightened animal surely must release harmful hormones into the food that we eat.

Oh my..! I was always intrigued by Foie Gras. I mean Ive heard it a lot that it is a tasty dish. So as a food adventurer I would want to try that sometime. But after reading this discussion of yours, mimpi, I dont think I can try it now. Im just gonna have to take others' word for it. I do admit that I am generally carnivorous but animal torture just to make a tasty delicacy isnt my cup of tea. Id be a hypocrite if I eat that and still cry whenever I see animal cruelty. I just cannot bear that. By even trying those dish that involves animal torture in the preparation would just be synonymous to my condoning such actions. Thanks for the information mimpi.

Hello, my friend. I know, one about goats, before butchering a goat here, they forcefully pour vinegar to its mouth, they say that it lessens the odor of the goat's meat. Goat's meat has this very strong odor, so they do that before butchering a goat, they say that goat's meat is delicious. I do not know that because i do not eat goat's meat.

Hi Mou, This has been the way to serve you all delicacies. Now you know the foregrounded fact but most other are do not know how it comes to them nor y=they bother. I know how swines are killed. Its too torturous. They chase and chase and with a heavy instrument they hit on the head - the point where brain locates. Some time it is a one strike but most other times they are hit time and again and the hog cries like anything. bad. May be that I know such thing would never relish.
