I have an acquaintance who attended a banquet in Hong Kong (he is of
Chinese origin), where a live monkey was brought to the table, the
monkey's head was inserted through a hole in the table, so that only
the top of its head stuck through, then with the monkey still alive,
they used a knife to hack off the top of the head and scooped out the
still warm brains to eat.  (No, he didn't eat any.)

Slaughtering cattle for meat is positively humane compared to this.
