Eating live creatures is common in South East Asian countries like Vietnam, Thailand, etc. The practice is also very common in China.

Many experts believe the COVID-19 virus was transmitted to humans in one of China's wet markets. According to a few reports, a wet market in Wuhan, China, known as the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, is believed to be the source of COVID-19, reported National Geographic.

Wet markets are typically large collections of open-air stalls which sell fresh seafood, meat, fruits, and vegetables. People can also buy live sea, fish, crabs, and other sea creatures for cooking. Some wet markets also sell and slaughter live animals on-site, including chickens, fish, shellfish, crabs, etc. The China's Huanan market also had a section where people can purchase wild animals or slaughtered species of snakes, beavers, porcupines, and even baby crocodiles.
