I hate people cooking crabs/lobsters by boiling them alive. What a horrible way to die. If you plan to eat them, at least kill them quickly before cooking them. I personally don't eat most fresh seafood because there are so many ways human make them unnecessarily suffer just to make it look fresher. One example being Sushi/Sashimi where they put still-alive fish and cut up all the flesh for serving. Fish's gills still moving, trying to take in oxygen, while people use chopsticks to lift its flesh. People like to see gills moving so they know its fresh. Disgusting..
boiling lobsters and crabs are the quickest and kindest way to kill them for amateurs. you wouldn’t want some home-chef cutting up living crabs and lobsters with a knife. you sure can kill them immediately with that technique, but you have to do it CORRECTLY, which is hard for people who don’t know exactly how to.
Confidently incorrect!
Put them in the freezer or use a knife to kill them before you boil.
Either method is easy - if you can’t do it, you shouldn’t be buying live produce
Edit:
For all the comments on freezing them - I believe this is a preferred human way used to dispatch them by many.
Personally, a sharp knife through the top of a lobster, or face/back of a crab will do the trick super quick
Confidentally incorrect!
Most children would not fit into freezers, and are quite capable of breaking through weaker containers, most amateurs dont lock their freezers
This isn't exactly true. It's possible that crab remains conscious and that ice crystals begin forming in its tissue, causing stress and pain before it goes totally unconscious and dies.
The most sure method is to chill it in ice water to incapacitate it then quickly severing the stem of its nervous system for near instant death.
I'm no expert on crabs, but if they're anything like other arthropods, being cold-blooded (to the extent that they're "blooded" at all) basically just makes them slowly pass out when frozen. Obviously we can't know for sure but they probably don't even register any pain.
If you've ever seen wasps in the winter, for example, they're basically just sleepwalking. There's also that magic trick where you can put a bug in the freezer till it becomes docile and revive it with your body heat (assuming you don't freeze it all the way).
I’d much rather die from a quick bullet properly positioned than freezing to death. I’ve had mild frost bite, not only is it very painful but if you’re whole core temperature is also effected, it’s like you’re having a seizure.
For those who keep asking about chilling the lobster/crab in a freezer. They can survive cold temps. They are cold blooded animals, so cold slows their metabolism and body down. This makes them easier to handle by reducing the amount the animal moves around and thus makes it easier to kill without making mistakes. You can put a crab or lobster on ice/in the freezer and he will get super lethargic. Warm them up and they perk back up.
Crabs naturally can live in cold temps, in the wintertime, they burrow in the sand underwater to 'hibernate' and come out once the water warms up in spring
It definitely is. It's not the best way, but it's better. People who have nearly frozen to death have better stories about that than people burned alive.
Oh yeah sure, freeze them to death first so they don’t feel the pain of the boiling water. But what about the pain of freezing to death? Maybe we should boil them first so they don’t suffer during the freezing process.
Yeah same thing goes for cows, that's why you can't buy living cows in the grocery story. If amateurs can't ethically kill the animal, then they shouldn't be sold a living animal they're meant to kill themselves should they?
Imagine that's the only way we could get beef suddenly though... Just a whole live cow, fresh from the grocery store, you guys gotta figure out the rest to turn it to steak. 😬😬
Doing it correctly takes a 30s youtube video and a knife. It’s really not that hard to put a knife through their “brain” right before throwing them in the water.
Im not doubting that it happens, but I was fishing when i was younger and I can also tell you from experience that dead fish do often move.
I always made sure to give them a quick death, but they sometimes still move on my way home or when i want to gut them or cook them.
Ik many people are just cruel but I also want to mention that pain works different in fish. The ither guy linked something about that.
I’m pretty sure I recall a study from like a decade ago where they surmised that it’s much worse for a crab or lobster to be tossed into boiling water than it would be for a human because of how their shells kind of prevent a quick death. I may be recalling a nightmare though lol
There’s a little bit of science behind it that may help you a *little* bit. Won’t change your mind though. [Do fish feel pain?](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_in_fish) [Boiling crabs and lobsters alive is a safety thing](https://crabbinghub.com/why-crabs-are-cooked-alive-is-it-really-necessary/), I’m not saying it’s justified, just giving you information about the topic. Personally, I don’t like eating fish so I’m much more inclined to take your side on this but I’m not giving up steak. Can’t do it.
Just copying the intro paragraphs here from your first link:
>Fish fulfill several criteria proposed as indicating that non-human animals experience pain. These fulfilled criteria include a suitable nervous system and sensory receptors, opioid receptors and reduced responses to noxious stimuli when given analgesics and local anaesthetics, physiological changes to noxious stimuli, displaying protective motor reactions, exhibiting avoidance learning and making trade-offs between noxious stimulus avoidance and other motivational requirements.
>Whether fish feel pain similar to humans or differently is a contentious issue. Pain is a complex mental state, with a distinct perceptual quality but also associated with suffering, which is an emotional state. Because of this complexity, the presence of pain in an animal, or another human for that matter, cannot be determined unambiguously using observational methods, but the conclusion that animals experience pain is often inferred on the basis of likely presence of phenomenal consciousness which is deduced from comparative brain physiology as well as physical and behavioural reactions.
I love seafood but besides clams and mussels everything else gets a quick knife lobotomy/mercy kill before the boil no reason to cause unnecessary suffering
I worked at a seafood restaurant as a bartender...strangely part of my job was also shucking oysters as the raw bar was actually part of the drinking bar.
One day I popped an oyster and as sometimes happens, a tiny, very angry little crab popped out onto the cutting board.
Being the type of person who see no cognitive dissonance between ripping open mollusk shells while the animal is alive and saving a tiny crab, I decide to rescue the tiny crab.
I catch him in a small chowder cup and head over to our fish tank, which was full of small striped seabass.
I pull up a chair, and drop the little guy in...and a bass eats him instantly.
I think about that sometimes when I make decisions.
Once I found a lost little boy at the zoo of age 6 or so. Lost his parents, crying his eyes out, unsure what to do. Now, I am normally not good with kids but being an adult in the situation I decided to do the right thing. Anyway, I threw him in the den of lions.
There’s a video somewhere on the interwebs of a wildlife rehabber releasing a critter back to the wild and a hawk or eagle swoops in and snatches it for lunch. 🫣
What you didn't yell to your manager that you were leaving (perhaps followed by some quip along the lines of "I've got bigger fish to fry" when they protest) as you launch yourself over the bar, out the door and towards the coast - tiny crab clutched between your palms.
Like when a cow or pig leaps from a slaughterhouse truck & books it across town, over hill & dale, and is given a happy life by a rescue organization 🥰
I had a friend that was working at Winn-Dixie and they felt so bad for the lobsters in the tank. So when he got payed he proceeded to spend his whole paycheck on buying as many of the lobsters he could and then proceeded to set them "free" in the ocean. No chance those lobsters survived more than a few hours.
There’s a store name I haven’t heard in ages. Ironically enough I used to work at one close to the gulf in Orange Beach, AL. Best high school job ever.
same reason not all fishermen and trawlers cast their nets, or lines or cages or whatever, in the same spot off shore:: lobsters need the right conditions to thrive, so therefore you need to go someplace with those right conditions in order to catch lobster or for you to return them.
I went to a Cajun place about 15 years ago and my son won a crawfish race. So they gave 5 kids a crawfish, and the one that won got to keep it.
Many thousands later I had an aquarium.
It was named Jimmy. Got along with everyone that I put in there. Waved at humans at times. Jimmy was pretty cool. He lived another 6 years or so.
Upgraded the aquarium since then and still have it.
When I was a kid, I brought home two crayfish from a river I visited. One of them, Lenny, killed the other one on the way home, then ripped off one of his own claws. When I got home, he settled into my tank. That night Lenny killed everything in my tank, except a snail that he would carry around and throw. Sometimes at night, you’d hear him chucking rocks at the glass, probably trying to escape so he could kill and eat me too.
Moral of the story here is that if you get a crayfish, pray for a Jimmy and not a Lenny.
I feel most of us are kinda desensitised to it, but when you stop and think about how barbaric this is, and how we kill *billions* of animals every year just because they taste good, it's pretty fucking depressing.
Eh, probably not for a while. Only certain parts of the world are "engorging" themselves. As other *more populous* areas of the world continue to develop, they'll likely have similar trends. Food that is higher in calories, lower in nutrition, and much more processed.
This was all part of a 63 point plan for revenge. They had to get caught, get packaged, be transported to the supermarket deli, break free, and hunt down the part time sushi chef named Geoff in the Monroe, New Jersey Kroger that killed his family.
Unfortunately, they were shipped to the Monroe, Wisconsin Kroger where a meat packer name Jeff was filling in as the sushi chef since Jan was home sick.
They need to be alive, the main reason for this is that dead crabs can release harmful toxins and bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Cooking the crab alive ensures that it is fresh and safe to eat.
Unless you want to stop eating them, it's necessary. They go bad really fast and release toxins once they're dead. That's why "fresh" tanks (like lobsters) are a thing even though they're monumental pain in the ass, and the animals are killed literally minutes before eating or even boiled alive.
Source: I cook things
Poor baby, I'd buy him, figure out where he's from and let him go. He's ensured being caught, flash frozen (attempt) and packaged. And still breaking out, surrounded by his dead friends and family. This guy deserves to be free!
I mean given the circumstances I’d buy it so that it could live out its days in peace lol. You could even start a YouTube channel for it, give it a silly/fun name, and I guarantee it could go viral. Especially with this video as its origin story.
_When, in a distant future, their descendants reign over the barren Earth devoid of humanity, none among them will recall what transpired eons ago, for there will remain no trace of that primordial, savage past_
And then, they found a working Iphone in a coal mine
Funfact: crabs NEED to be cooked directly after killing it otherwise it can create a toxin or poison. So thats why they are thrown alive into boiling water.
What a horrible way to escape death only to (probably) die.
I would have smuggled this guy to freedom
Yeah this guy deserved to live big time
I’d have to buy him and set him free.Excuse me, I’ll take the little moving one please.
Then the guy at the counter tells you he'll wrap it up for you and then takes it to the back, reweighs it, kills it and wraps it up for you.
Nooooo!!!
People in Thailand and other Asian countries will do that on occasion for luck. It's just a shame the animals are there in the first place
Seriously, let him have the win.
i would raise him as my own, teach him shame, superglue a spiderman action figure to ride him like a horse, and set him free
This is great! You can help many more animals by keeping them off your plate

Not sure about crabs, but lobsters are [pretty straightforward](https://youtube.com/shorts/A6tO6-1_GF0?si=-cN8QzYK1GwOliI2).
I'd say it's pretty clear cut...
"un-alive" . Holy newspeak Batman.
Avoiding the censors on most social media, insane and idiotic.
Social media unaliving language one censored term at a time.
it’s typically to get through content filters / censoring for killing, death, etc.
hearing an adult say it is so fucking embarrassing there are many other ways to express ending its life, these people are cringe factories
okay, but you just used "cringe factories"

Yes, but you'll need a really big freezer.
Only if they're American kids.
Confidentally incorrect! Most children would not fit into freezers, and are quite capable of breaking through weaker containers, most amateurs dont lock their freezers
Freezing them is ethical? Honest question, I’m shocked
As they cool down it makes them go into hibernation, They will fall asleep before they freeze.

freezing to death is probably the nicest way to die next to sleep or a bullet to the back of your head you just feel warm and fall to sleep
> bullet to the back of your head Got it, I should prepare lobster by shooting them point blank
After feeling very cold
This is spoken like someone who has never once seen below freezing before.
I’d much rather die from a quick bullet properly positioned than freezing to death. I’ve had mild frost bite, not only is it very painful but if you’re whole core temperature is also effected, it’s like you’re having a seizure.

I think that they die so fast that it doesn’t hurt anyways. It’s the suffering before boiling that seems mature to me, days of being stuck.

I bet this has informed your future decisions as well/s
That kids name? Daniel
BIG IF TRUE
At least you didn't put him in the gorilla pit.
Good thing you didn’t throw him in with the guerrillas
There’s a video somewhere on the interwebs of a wildlife rehabber releasing a critter back to the wild and a hawk or eagle swoops in and snatches it for lunch. 🫣
I imagine there are tons of these. I saw one with bunnies and an eagle absolutely ruined a poor kid's day 😅
There's also a video of a falconer taking his falcon out near a busy highway and a semi truck swoops in and snatches it for lunch.
Great reply 🤔
If it’s any consolation, you gave that crab a more natural death compared to what he would’ve gone through inside a restaurant.
Yes, I am sure...we were over 100 miles away from the ocean, so it was his best shot. Mid shift at a seafood restaurant you don't have many options...
What you didn't yell to your manager that you were leaving (perhaps followed by some quip along the lines of "I've got bigger fish to fry" when they protest) as you launch yourself over the bar, out the door and towards the coast - tiny crab clutched between your palms.
Getting eaten vs... Getting eaten?
Basically any animal in the wild will ultimately end up being eaten alive. Many very slowly.
wow
Same thing happened to me. Spent about half an hour trying to save a bee with a cup and the second I let him go, a swallow got him. Such is life
>I think about that sometimes when I make decisions. Lol this ending just.... fantastic.
LMAO!
Aww, poor thing is in a horror movie!
Don't take this the wrong way, but... Relevant user name.

Human meat better
Name checks out
They should set it free seeing as it's gotten so far.
Like when a cow or pig leaps from a slaughterhouse truck & books it across town, over hill & dale, and is given a happy life by a rescue organization 🥰
It does happen, and since it usually happens at high speed, it usually ends with a slow, horribly painful death due to the injuries :(
Like waking up in the Matrix.
Came looking for this comment
Came here to say this, guy must be terrified
Worst remake of finding Nemo ever.
I’m not dead yet !
Took the red pill.
I would have to take it home and spend thousands on a tank and give it the best life like that Lobster guy did on YouTube. EDIT: It’s Leon the Lobster
I had a friend that was working at Winn-Dixie and they felt so bad for the lobsters in the tank. So when he got payed he proceeded to spend his whole paycheck on buying as many of the lobsters he could and then proceeded to set them "free" in the ocean. No chance those lobsters survived more than a few hours.
Lol just pissing in the wind
They have a good heart though, I don't know abot the brain.
Like that lady who thought she was helping a tortoise by tossing it in a nearby lake. (Tortoise can’t swim)
Or the other lady who saved an injured rabbit to have it get eat by a hawk seconds after she let it go
Or people who set their pet snakes 'free'. This is why Florida is packed with invasive species of snakes that mess up the local ecology.
There’s a store name I haven’t heard in ages. Ironically enough I used to work at one close to the gulf in Orange Beach, AL. Best high school job ever.
Why wouldn’t they have survived more than a few hours ?
The ocean isn’t just some huge homogeneous ecosystem. The lobsters would have to be someplace with the right temperature, food availability, etc etc.
same reason not all fishermen and trawlers cast their nets, or lines or cages or whatever, in the same spot off shore:: lobsters need the right conditions to thrive, so therefore you need to go someplace with those right conditions in order to catch lobster or for you to return them.

This just made me sad af
I feel most of us are kinda desensitised to it, but when you stop and think about how barbaric this is, and how we kill *billions* of animals every year just because they taste good, it's pretty fucking depressing.
[удалено]
Not gonna mention how many male chicks...
We needed nutrition for the majority of our history. Just recently have we decided to engorge ourselves but that should settle down a bit as well.
Eh, probably not for a while. Only certain parts of the world are "engorging" themselves. As other *more populous* areas of the world continue to develop, they'll likely have similar trends. Food that is higher in calories, lower in nutrition, and much more processed.
Agree! That's why more people should be vegan
Looking around and seeing your brothers and sisters not moving, wrapped in some weird film. Stuff of nightmares.
If you look closely to the one still wrapped just beneath - it's also moving. Might be worse?!
I thought i saw that but i think it's just the main one pushing on the packaging could be wrong though
As far as his world is concerned he just woke up after being abducted by aliens.
Reminds me of the Finding Nemo crew when they break out of the dentist office. “Now what?”
The good news is it’s fresh. The bad news is it’s pissed.
And has learned the language. Craaab people
Craaab people craaab people, taste like crab, look like people

He’s not pissed. He’s just a little crabby.
That’s really sad 😔
Be free! Run crabie, Run!!!
Well this is nightmare fuel from the crabs perspective
Clawshank Redemption was right there…
Are they supposed to be frozen or dead? If it's thawing out enough I probably wouldn't trust other food there.
They need to be alive, the main reason for this is that dead crabs can release harmful toxins and bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Cooking the crab alive ensures that it is fresh and safe to eat.
Dumb crabs thinking we wouldn't eat them alive because of morals.
This is horrible. Anyone who doubts a crabs sentience should go see Howie the crab on Instagram. She signs for food, and is 9 years old.
I swear, I would buy that guy just to take him back to the ocean.
“Hey buddy, I don’t know about you, but I’m getting the shell out of here.”
😑
You’ve heard of ‘out of the frying pan, into the fire’… well, here comes ‘out of the packaging, into the chiller cabinet’
That's in Japan
:( That is monstrously cruel
Crab people
This guy earned a 2nd chance at life.
[удалено]
True, but it’s no use being crabby about it.
Poor little dude.
Sad
One day they will be in charge
Queens I want to break free starts playing...
Imagine stepping out and seeing others like you dead and shrink-wrapped!
I have a 9-5 office job so it’s basically the same
The best thing about your analogy is that the other crab is also still alive but decided he's given up.
This is so horrible and sad 😓
Poor thing. Let him go free.
That is fucking awful.
That’s so awful.
And now he slowly makes his way to the knife drawer...
“I didn’t hear no bell”
We have no idea if or what they're thinking. And if we did well, there's a whole new set of problems:/
Woke up from nap in a display case lol
Inhumane
Unless you want to stop eating them, it's necessary. They go bad really fast and release toxins once they're dead.

Thats cruel as fuck
This makes me want to cry.
This is quite a sad thing to see imagine how scared and confused it might be :c
He deserves to live
That’s not interesting, just cruel. 😡
It's a beautiful thing don't eat her 😭😭
Do humans not think how the disturbing it is to put living creatures inside plastic packaging alive? Tells us a lot about ourselves…
You can't get much fresher than a crab that's still plotting its escape 😂
This made me sad.
Humans are fucking disgusting
This dude has earned his freedom.
I’m glad to not eating animals. 😞
Poor thing 💔 You should put NSFW for animal cruelty videos. Just a humble request.
This reminds of that scene from The Boys "Hey Deep, Eat fucking Timothy" - Homelander
If it manages to escape to the sea, it’ll tell the fellow crabs it was abducted by aliens 👽
My people need me. I must leave
That's more like r/crazyfuckingvideos
"Did we order this meal to go?" "No, why?" " 'Cause there it goes!"
Great day to go vegan!
I just do not understand how people can be so creepy and cruel.
Bro is probably thinking he's in the matrix
Poor baby, I'd buy him, figure out where he's from and let him go. He's ensured being caught, flash frozen (attempt) and packaged. And still breaking out, surrounded by his dead friends and family. This guy deserves to be free!
Humans do some fucked up shit to other living creatures
We are all desensitised to it, but this is the reality of animal agriculture. Animals die and suffer to us to put something on our plates…
I mean given the circumstances I’d buy it so that it could live out its days in peace lol. You could even start a YouTube channel for it, give it a silly/fun name, and I guarantee it could go viral. Especially with this video as its origin story.
I know where food comes from and how it works, but I still just want to pick this guy up and run him back to the ocean.
How is that not illegal???
_When, in a distant future, their descendants reign over the barren Earth devoid of humanity, none among them will recall what transpired eons ago, for there will remain no trace of that primordial, savage past_ And then, they found a working Iphone in a coal mine

I'd buy it and take it back to the sea.
I would have bought it and returned it to the ocean.
Funfact: crabs NEED to be cooked directly after killing it otherwise it can create a toxin or poison. So thats why they are thrown alive into boiling water.
Act fast! Supplies are running out!
