Lacist!
I went on a far east tour about 11 years ago with my ex and stayed in Kowloon. The whole place is fucking bonkers. A wander around a local market was quite an eye opener.

I remember going to a market with Mother Stunned and asking why all the
animals were in cages, until I saw a couple of chickens get dragged out, their heads lopped off and stuffed in a bag for a punter.

Yeah that was a bit... brutal.
They did the same with fish - kept in a big bucket of water and then hauled out onto a slab. I suppose at least it's fresh that way...

I walked past several cages piled on top of each other and realised that the contents were moving. Closer inspection revealed it to be hundreds and hundreds of frogs.
