Live eels (Unagi) being prepared for lunch at Narita Temple on New Years Day 2013. In Japan, eels are considered delicious and are quite expensive. I have eaten them before but they are not my favorite. Watching them being killed and then cleaned and prepared for eating is not for everyone, so Warning: This Video Contains Graphic Images that some Viewers may find disturbing. Of course animals of all kinds are killed everyday for consumption but the public doesnt usually view it. Even the Japanese people seemed to be somewhat mesmerized by the process. I wondered if he eels felt any pain after the initial knife cut behind the head.
