The crab season has begun and Chinese citizens love to gorge on a variety of crab dishes — from Crab Spaghetti to Cheesy Avocado Crab and Crab Rangoon Dip! One such video of a crab dish being prepared in Changsha city, south China’s Hunan Province, has surfaced on the Internet. However, it will give you second thoughts before you order a crab delicacy the next time.

In the 34-second clip, as soon as the chef keeps the crab on a pan full of hot oil, it starts eating the ingredients while being roasted itself. The live crab started to claw at the chilli flakes and munch it. With more than 47,000 views on YouTube, it has hurt the sentiments of many people online, reports The Indian Express.

‘So cruel. If you wanna eat an animal, please kill it suddenly. Kindly stop this type of cruel and slow ways to kill a creature bcoz it increases the pain for a long time until it dies,’ one of the viewers commented.
