I can't bring myself to watch this video. The picture and description are bothersome enough for me. But I thought it might be worth posting. If you eat fish (or any animal for that matter) and are trying to kick the habit, this just might help you go veg.
Here's the blurb that I found with it:
"This video of a deep-fried yet still-gasping fish at a restaurant located in, we think, China is truly one of the most unsettling things we've seen. Thanks to its origins on the oft-playful Buzzfeed, we assumed this might have been a gag, that the joke was that this writhing creature was an animatronic robot or something equally not-real. But it's real. We post this not to gross you out (although it most assuredly will), but because this is horror. This is the stuff of nightmares, on a plate. This sort of thing goes on in the real world, behind closed doors or in front of people with video cameras, and whatever your stance on the ethics of carnivorousness, you've got to admit that the indifference to suffering shown here is staggering." http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/11/terrifying-deep-fried-gasping-fish-video/?so=f-s
Click the link if you want to see a still picture, watch the video, or read the comments posted. The comments range from things like "All meat eaters contribute to this sort of suffering, they just don't usually see it" to things like, "So what? It's just a fish. I kill them all the time."

I don't think I can watch that... I can't believe how cruel human beings can be sometimes! I'm almost ashamed to be one.
"Fish are smart. Oxford University scientist Dr. Theresa Burt de Perera recently discovered that fish learn even faster than dogs. Fish learn from each other, have long-term memories, and can recognize one another. They gather information by eavesdropping, and some species even use tools, which, until recently, was thought to be a uniquely human trait. Like the dogs and cats with whom we share our homes, they also like to play, investigate new things, and hang out with friends." (From here.)
I don't see how anyone could eat such smart and sweet creatures...
