Zoologists from the University of Gothenburg (that's in Sweden, I think) are calling for an immediate ban on boiling crabs alive after making a groundbreaking 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.
They came to this conclusion after electricuting them, poisoning them with acids and other toxins, and shaming them to death making fun of their eyes.
You can NOT make this shit up...
Please do not boil animals alive because it hurts their feelings. But murdering children in the womb is double plus greatness that is okay because it is just a clump of cells? proof positive that the lunatics are also evil. The lunatics need a safe space , some sort of asylum where they can be free to do as they please and not be allowed to harm themselves or others.
ReplyDeleteSo they feel pain when we eat them? As opposed to being literally torn apart and eaten alive by some fish? Yeah, I'll take mine with butter and Old Bay...............
ReplyDeleteWhy should it bother me boiling crabs alive as I plan to eat them? These people in academia have really become stupid and I say that as I got my Engineering degree back in the 70s.
ReplyDeleteCrabs only? I need a government grant to expand this research to include fresh Maine lobster and Louisiana crawfish. A couple hundred grand oughta get me through phase 1 trials.
ReplyDeleteThose same 'researchers' though would not have any problem boiling deplorables alive. I myself though, being ultra-woke, always walk pushing a broom ahead of me, just to make sure that I don't step on any living being that's higher on the usefulness scale than a leftist.
ReplyDeleteI'm old, I drink a lot and I don't give a fuck about crabs or the people that ran this study.
ReplyDeleteThere is a legion of stories from Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco from back in the days when there were sidewalk crab stands. Fresh crabs tossed into boiling water followed by a faint "EEEEeeeeee". Tourists aghast in realization that the crabs were "screaming". LOL. No. It's just steam escaping from the shells.
ReplyDeleteConsidering what crabs eat, one must wonder about any person who eats crabs.
ReplyDeleteMaryland schools start students a year later than Virginia schools do and graduate them from high school two or three years behind Virginia students. There is probably a reason for this.
