To Cook Them Dead or Alive.

Culture differs from country to country, person to person, but is culture used as the excuse to hurt animals? Animals suffer from abuse all the time, but do people really need to kill a dog or cat by cooking them alive? On Change.Org, Linda Camac wrote the petition Stop Cooking Animals Alive to Mr. Sun Guoxiang. She believes that it is cruel to cook animals while they are still alive, just for a better taste.

In Camac's petition she writes how cruel humans are for putting live animals in hot boiling water or a hot oven to cook them for dinner. This is done so the animal's adrenaline to shoot up with pain and fear, thus making the animal taste better. That is the most cruel a person can get. Cooking a live animal, you can probably listen to the cries and panic of the animal as it tries so hard to escape this horrible death.

Camac goes on and argues that culture does not defend the fact that these animals suffer a terrifying death. I agree with Camac's point because culture shouldn't mean you must torture an animal in order to receive a pleasant dinner. These people should kill the animal, in the most humane matter of course, before they decide to cook it. It will save the animal a bit of the pain of burning alive.
