Louis Cole is known as a person who eats odd foods and travel adventures on his popular youtube channels, FoodForLouis.
In April 2012 he posted a video himself eating a live goldfish. This caused the RSPCA to prepare a case against him under the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
Since he had previously only eaten invertebrates, the fish was the first incident in which he may have broken the law. He has received death threats from some animal lovers.
Cole has eaten locusts, a raw heart, maggots, a
frog corpse, rag worms, and scorpions.
Cole claims that his videos are not cruel and
that he kills the animals quickly to avoid suffering. He said that viewers'
disgust is based on ignorance of or bias against other culinary cultures. He
denied that his goldfish-eating stunt caused suffering, and claims that the
RSPCA is "wasting its time" in pursuing him.
