Most likely people used to kill the larks before cutting out their
tongues, because it is too difficult to do this while the animal is
still alive. The same with cows.

On the other hand it is more profitable to keep the larks alive in
large lark farms, where they vomit regularly; the vomit can then
go into the production of Belgian chocolates.
