=== Eating of live mice in China ===
''See also:'' [[China and atheism]] and [[Asian atheism]]
''The Daily Mail'' reported:
{{Cquote|An Asian man has been filmed dipping a live baby mouse into a bowl of sauce before eating it.
The disgusting footage showed the man picking up a baby mouse with chopsticks before calmly devouring the squeaking rodent that was still moving.
The revolting meal, which was accompanied by a plate of tomatoes, is reportedly considered a delicacy in the Guangdong province of southeast China.
The government banned the dish, but it can still be found in backstreet restaurants.
The practice has been given the gruesome name of 'Three Squeaks' because the mouse squeaks when it gets picked up by a diner, again when it gets dipped into the sauce and finally as it dies...
In November 2015 a shocking video of newborn mice being prepared to be eaten emerged online.
The footage is believed to have been shot at a restaurant in Guangdong, south China, where mice are a specialty.
The video showed the mice next to a pot of broth being dipped into a plate of sauce.
A separate footage of a man actually eating the mice was also posted online.
The man was seen with a plate of the baby rodents in front of him.
After smothering the still-wriggling creatures in a brown sauce, he put one in his mouth and chewed on the mouse.<ref>[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7927747/Asian-man-dips-baby-mouse-bowl-sauce-eating-ALIVE.html Disturbing footage shows diner calmly dipping a baby MOUSE in a bowl of sauce before eating it alive as part of banned Chinese delicacy known as 'Three Squeaks']</ref>}}
