Well, I can surely top the barbaric gourmetism list if there is any. I know this thread is for fun, but let's not forget we're still talking about reality...
I decided never to set foot in China when I read they lack morals to the point of chopping off a LIVING kitten's limbs and fry it alive to amuse rich, perverted customers who like a sick scene prior to eating.
That they eat cats and dogs, fine. We also eat animals and a pig isn't less entitled to live than a cat. But I think making death painful on purpose is sick, perverted and completely inhumane. "Culture differences" don't matter. Inflicting pain on purpose is sick and should be punished.
If anyone feels like protesting, google for Choi dong tsai.
Scroll all down.

As for lobsters: lobsters have pincers. They use them to fight. How do you defeat an enemy? Kill him or inflict injuries (=pain) on him to make him back off.
It's easy to say someone doesn't feel pain when they don't scream. But even if they don't, they'd still feel fear.
