The “dish” which grossed out several social media users is a delicacy in Guangdong province of southeast China, according to a DailyMail report. While the absurd meal has been banned, it is still available in street restaurants, the news website stated.

Once viral, the post was flooded with netizens criticising the man and calling it “animal cruelty”. “Oh my God! How can he eat a newborn mouse? Disgusting!” wrote a user, while another commented, “I can’t believe any human beings dare to eat live rats!!!!!!”

You know what they say, “You’re what you eat”

Or in this case, its real karma that those who eat bats, mice, civets are struck back by the viruses carried by the wildlives. Except the poor folks of the other innocent nations who perished as a collateral damage#WuhanCoronavirus

How utterly disgusting. And they wonder why disease is rife there.

Just vile. They will eat anything and that is ok. Torturing creatures is not ok.
