Scientists call for immediate ban on boiling crabs alive after ground-breaking discovery

The researchers have proven that crabs really can feel pain just like any other animal, meaning that being boiled is likely to be an excruciatingly painful death.
Lead author Eleftherios Kasiouras, a PhD student at the University of Gothenburg, told MailOnline: 'We believe that the boiling crustaceans alive should be banned and other techniques such as electro stunning should be applied the moment that the crustaceans are caught.
'There is more and more evidence emerging, including our research, that decapods [crabs] experience pain so we should treat them as we would treat other animals.'
In their study, the researchers used brain scans to see how crabs' nervous systems react when they are exposed to painful stimuli.
This revealed the first evidence that crabs process pain in the exact same way as humans.

So do crawfish. And they both are delicious.

I think everyone assumed this and did not give a frick.

Like crawfish and shrimp? OK!

So it’s ok to experiment on crabs to see how much pain you can inflict on them?

I'll agree to stop eating crabs when they stop eating each other because of the pain
Posted on 11/27/24 at 1:29 pm to boomtown143
So that’s why crawfish have been raising their arms in protest

Who’s talking about abortion? Do you know what a strawman is?

They're just now making this discovery? The wheel can't be far behind.

Yeah I’m sure nothing wants to die but people eat them
And if you want to eat them, you have to cook them
And if you want to eat them, you have to cook them

The researchers took partially paralysed shore crabs, also known as European green crabs, and attached electrodes to clusters of nerves called ganglia which make up their central nervous system.
The crabs were then subjected to painful chemical or physical stimulation using solutions of acetic acid and specialised probes.
"Don't worry about mad scientist-type shite that we do, you better not hurt them before you eat them, you fricking assholes"

Now do a study on an unborn baby's brain stimuli as it's being aborted.

I wonder how he felt about Fauci torturing those poor beagles.

If they didn't want to be killed and eaten they should've evolved to be bipedal and have big brains. Sucks to suck
