it’s well documented. you push the point of your knife into their brain and then like split their head open. instant death
>>
>>21620304
I caught a couple of rock crabs on the beach and boiled them alive for twenty minutes. They were delicious. Arthropods are mindless so who cares?
>>
>>21620357
they feel pain. and if that’s too much of a stretch for you, they at least demonstrate a preference for not being boiled alive.
>>
>>21620353
Where is their brain? It's probably a tiny target. I'm not a crab anatomist

I stabbed a fish in the brain once, split its damn head in two, and it was still flopping and going nuts. I kill fish by clubbing them now, caving their skull in is quicker and more reliable.

here’s a minute long demonstration on how to kill a crab before cooking. you stab the “nerve center”

some people might say that about you too. would you like to be boiled alive?
>>
>>21620390
Mammals are confirmed to feel severe pain and feel deep emotions. I'm still a mammal even if I happen to be a low quality one.

It's feeling crabby.

>>21620378

>then you stab it in the head
this is just cruel
>>
>>21620304
they like it in the water though? just look at that guy, he's having a good time. insofar as crabs can have good times (dubious)
hell, if you boiled me alive it would probably be chill, at least at the start as the water heats up, before my skin peeled off and all. like a hot tub. one of the better ways to go out I'm sure. you'd probably be dead or unconscious before it really got ugly or you felt anything severe.

I give my crustaceans the opportunity to exercise their free will and self determination. I don't boil them, they boil themselves because they choose to.

It's the only moral way.

Why do they go to the heat and not freedom? Do they like the warmth or does the smell of food make them hungry?

In the US, crab is usually sold precooked (they cook them on those big ships where the Deadliest Catch guys get them weighed. Lobster, on the other hand, is sold alive most of the time.
>>
>>21620449
This is diabolical
>>21620463
Yes because we are mindless crustaceans
>>21620369
You probably left a portion of the brain in-tact, and the part left connected to the muscles started seizing. I wouldn't exactly call this state "conscious"
>>
>>21620529
>This is diabolical
Why? It gave them a chance.
>>
>>21620304
>Stop cooking crabs alive.
Actually, just cook them fast. The jury is still indeed out on pain and learning. There's no hormonal response to pain.

Just know the boiling alive practice is also based on science. The point of cooking crustaceans alive is that they are to be looked upon very suspiciously if NOT alive when you buy them. They have the most notorious and fastest form of food poisoning when already dead.
>>
Arthropods don't have brains. Their nervous systems are decentralized. They don't think like vertebrates do.

The meat gets all weird and soggy if you pierce the shell in any way

My guess would be to flee.
Crabby is normally under water, so the jet gives him propulsion backwards to support fleeing backwards.
>>
>>21620593
So that crab is actually frikkin terrified right now and is desperately trying to escape, but cannot because his tormentor has cruelly put him in a shallow bowl?

By the time they're close enough to feel the heat from the boiling water, they're already on the slide and it's too late. You can see the one at 0:06 regret his choice and try to stop his descent into the pot, but he's not able to get enough traction to save himself.

No.

>>21620353
Crabs, like insects, don't really have a brain so to speak. They have a handful of ganglion spread throughout the body. If humanely killing them is really a concern for you, put them in a cooler full of ice, or your freezer, for 15 minutes to half an hour. Then using shears, snip off their face behind the eye stalks. The process you describe is for lobsters. I'll just keep dropping mine into the boiling Old Bay, water, and beer.
Do lions care how the gazelle feels while it rips out its living guts?

>>21620363

Ackschualley, the most painless method is to fry their "brains" with a stungun.
There is an initiative to provide crab and shrimp farms with these things since it would make their deaths an awful lot less painful.
Not that I personally care what kills the crab, just saying

This is worse than just killing them but somehow I can't stop laughing at it, it's such a preposterous claim that this is merciful for being in the hands of a stupid thing with no concept of anything but eat food and copulate when biological clock says LETS GO let alone a devious death trap skewed towards the pots side.

>>21623345
When I've done fish surgery ive added small amounts to the water and it sedates them. It's got a chemical in it that when aquatics animals breathe or absorb it acts as a sedative and paralytic. After a high enough dose (which is only a little bit) they will die. Even with littler doses they sometimes will forget to breathe even if not paralyzed, and die without manual help.
The amount of clove oil is small enough that there is no noticable lingering taste. I think Old Bay actually has clove in it so maybe I've never noticed. Because they are unconscious and/or dead the meat isn't stressed before cooking either. If they're are still alive they won't feel a thing.
If it were my fate to be dropped in a boiling pot, I wish I could be blackout unconscious for it so I give them the same courtesy.

No they don't. Stop parroting this nonsense. You can easily prove it by getting a crab and cutting one of its claws off while it's alive. It doesn't spaz out or react in any way that can be associated with being in pain.
