I think it's more about the conditions that they're kept and transported in rather than us not killing and eating them. > Eating something alive is wrong for it’s own reasons. Whilst I agree in principle, there's a fuzzy line in what we consider to be alive. Bacteria certainly seem to be fair game with yoghurts being specifically sold as "live". I don't know if animal welfare laws currently cover eating animals whilst they're still alive, though it sounds feasible.
