Problem
Cruelty to insects
Incidence:
Insects may have their legs or wings removed whilst alive, whether for amusement or in the process of food preparation. Children devise painful ways to kill insects, such as burning them alive. In the preparation of silk, 15 silk moths are either boiled or steamed alive to produce one gram of woven silk. Some insects are fried or otherwise prepared for eating whilst still alive.
