OH MY! This video is SOOOO GROSS. LoL. I don't think it's gotta do with cruelty (I mean, c'mon, chicken die too, and do I eat a lot of them!) it's just that... The bird's head looks so cute! And... Well... I don't like to think of how cute the animal looked when I eat it :P

What's really funny though... Is the hype at the beginning of the video... "The ultimate French delicacy..." ...meanwhile... I'm French and this is the FIRST time ever I hear about it. lol. Next thing you know, they'll think we have frog legs for breakfast!
