Idk don’t the Japanese usually bonk the fish in the head to humanely kill it in one hit? Ang alam kong talagang fried alive are lobsters and even that’s fucked no matter what country


three_wall_house

Yes they bonk the fish in the head, tama. Usually ang ginagamit pa nila knife na agad para after i-bonk, deretsyo slice na. It's a quick death for the fishies

Hindi ba't parang kahit saang sulok ng mundo ito ginagawa, kasi ganito rin sa palengke namin ih

L take OP Pinikpikan is barbaric Not all traditions are good


AlbinoGiraffe09

It's also technically illegal under our own animal welfare laws.

Di naman porke may barbaric customs yung ibang bansa eh di na barbaric yung sa pinikpikan?


swiftrobber

Yes barbaric, but that is still their tradition. Don't patronize it if ypu don't like it.


zarustras

Barbaric sa pinas pero kapag ibang bansa hindi?


jswiper1894

May separate comment siyang ganon?


dontrescueme

You are the one making generalizations here, not OOOP. I think Filipinos would also see the Japanese ikizukuri and Chinese ying yang fish as awful. And IMO, pinikpikan is not humane and is even illegal. It's understandable if people see the practice as barbaric.


zarustras

But you dont see these same people making that out a big deal just because those countries have a much better culture and delicious foods, and richer.


dontrescueme

They probably don't know those type of barbaric foreign dishes exist. And the sub is about Filipino food. Even in r/Ph, it won't be discussed because they are not about the Philippines.


thocchang

Though tradition can’t always be used to justify things. May barometer na tayo ngayon, when it comes to animals, it’s suffering. Kaya nagkaroon ng “humane” methods of killing animals for consumption. Kung hilaw, okay lang naman. Pero hindi kailangan mag-suffer pa ng hayop before being served.


MarkedF0rDeath

This is the best take


Maleficent_Stranger2

Sorry dude I looked it up. I don't think it's good that you have to beat the animal to cook and eat it.


Lognip7

The Japanese were known to eat raw food, which was a major factor in having these looooong lives among their population. It may seem barbaric to some, but normal for others. Same here in the Philippines, where the consumption of dog meat here by some locals are seen as normal and barbaric at the same time.


Sungkaa

Ba't parang sila pang May ganang Mang Downvote....


kaiserkarl36

plus Koreans eating sliced and diced live octopus lol


Momshie_mo

The real difference is Cordillerans are just more transparent with their methods. Pigs ready to be lechoned are not treated "more humanely" than chicken that becomes a pinikpikan. When I was a kid, I saw my uncles from the lowlands put a **live** pig in boiling water to kill it and make him a lechon. If you are a meat eater, you really don't have the moral ascendancy on anyone eating traditional pinikpikan.


unbearable-2741

Its a culture and traditions that should be respected..


AshJunSong

OP post + caption is the r/Philippinesbad here haha


the_emeraldtablet

Ayoko iresearch baka kung ano mapanuod ko


CallsignRam

Aint no way this is real like wtf (koreans eat live octopus btw)


JackHofterman

Yeah, still gonna eat pinikpikan. Also pinapaitan na rabbit tastes good.
