If you've ever watched a documentary on the wild African Hunting Dogs, they disembowel their prey and begin eating as soon as the prey is incapacitated and before it dies. Quite gruesome.
I don't think that it is too much to ask of human beings to treat their prey in a humane fashion.

If eating live octopi is made a criminal offense, then only criminals will eat octopi and a great black market in live octopi will emerge. Maybe.
There was a similar furor years ago when hippies found that a secretion from a desert toad gave them a hallucinogenic high. Toad sucking as it was called immediately became a target of the DEA and the toad went onto the illegal substance list.
It seemed to be the perfect dodge for illegal dealers. {Honest officer, that’s not my toad. It just came hopping by.}
Unfortunately, the toad sucking revolution never materialized and as far as I can tell, the DEA never prosecuted a single case.

Christians and Jews are forbidden to eat live animals in the Old Testament. It’s unspeakably cruel.

Let’s face it. True American, Baseball, Apple Pie culture is the best, these kinds of practices are disgusting and not American.

Only Blue Ringed octupus should be eaten alive...
we’re guessing most of you aren’t in favour of cutting off the limbs of a live animal?
Hey, a pig like that you don’t eat all at one time!

True, but they are not eaten when torn from a live animal!
What they are doing is cruel, and there is no justification for it!
