i used to take turtle soup too.. didn't think much about it
until...
then I went to the zoo.. and its like i figured for the turtle to
grow to a size
that we can EAT, it's been probably living for YEARS.. plus
turtles are really long lived... its not like they die naturally
after a few years
but if nobody touches them, no disease nothing, they can really
live for hundreds of years
and that's.... kind of creepy.. knowing you may be eating
something
that have lived on this earth
longer than you... uhh..
plus if you have been to chinatown market
and seen the turtles kept in dirty, unhygienic and tiny
containers
where they can't do anything except float because there is no
space....
and at the abovementioned chinatown market
as for frogs.. they dont just bang them on the head
they bang them on the head, skin them
and leave them still breathing lying on the board
until some auntie wants to buy them, then they get chopped.
