I've been going to the market every day before work to buy super cheap vegetables, fruit & tofu. Of course there is plenty of meat there as well, & some live fish, crabs & shrimp in tubs for the choosing. One day, I saw a lady displaying her selection of live frogs tied together with string. She had one of the frogs on her lap & was cutting off its head with scissors.
Another day I saw three live ducks for sale, their legs tied together. The saleslady was in the process of plucking a fourth duck, presumably just killed. The live ducks were just sitting there, not quacking, not moving really, as if in somber acceptance of their fate.This is Vietnam.
