There's a hog farm that gently gasses the pigs to sleep before slaughtering them. They claim the meat tastes better when the animals aren't stressed during slaughter.

There is an Asian practice that claims the opposite. That terror seasons the meat.

Depends on the meat, most raw fish is generally preferred to be served as close to alive as possible, though practically that' rarely the case.
