No thanks. I'm apparently rather 'speciest', too. I'll not judge, over raw oysters, and adore them, myself - but, as they have no brain, I've doubt of their sentience. Live mammals? Yup - I'll judge, on that one, so if you enjoy live monkey brains, for example? I don't want you in any part of my life. Period. Live 'anything with a brain', I can't get past what lodges in my mind as gruesome and vile. I've seen videos of people slicing into live fish, as they flop and squirm, in obvious pain, and it just seems extremely cruel, to me. The 'incomparable flavor' is simply not worth the cruelty, and I wouldn't be able to sleep at night, or look at myself in the mirror, if I did it. There's not much in this life that I'm 'judgey' about - but, apparently this strikes more of a revulsion nerve, in me, than even I knew.
