Sacramento's Midtown Nishiki Sushi has stopped serving live shrimp after dozens of people called and complained to PETA.
Nishiki was serving the live shrimp bathed in cold sake, then they wanted customers to "squeeze lemon juice on their exposed flesh so they would dance while being eaten alive.
PETA campaign coordinator Amanda Fortino said, "Because we received so many calls, we contacted Nishiki and told them every animal feels pain, and we have the scientific evidence to back that up. They agreed to not sell the live shrimp anymore, and we really appreciate that," Fortino said.
If you are wondering what the dancing shrimp looks like, here you go.
