But abortion on demand is fine

The "clump of cells" hosts probably have crabs too.
That's a double no-no on the pain registry.

At least it wasn’t a study conducted in the US that used our tax dollars.

That’s not to say our tax dollars weren’t being used, but if so, they have been laundered by the Swedish government.

How else do they propose we cook crabs then? Steaming them seems like it'd be even worse because they won't die as fast. I can't imagine that a crab lives more than a few seconds once you plunge it into a pot of boiling water

I’m pretty sure it kills then instantly

Dump live crawfish in boiling water, pull them out 2 seconds later and they’re all dead

Wow. Groundbreaking. Millions likely spent on this study.

We need to go in the other direction.

Make things like Ortolan legal. Cruelty is delicious

Man Sweden must be rolling in government cash and lack of other problems to fund if they're spending money researching crab pain receptors

If blue crabs weren't so damn mean, I might care. It's their own attitude that makes me enjoy torturing the little bastards.

What? Hit em on the head with a hammer?

What type of experiments did the scientists do that would expose them to pain so they could register on their notepads? Scientists are cruel.

How to humanely kill and cook a crab
Stun the crab by cooling it down in the freezer to around 2°C (35°F).
Once the crab is in a torpor, kill it by driving a spike through the two main parts of its central nervous system.
Turning the crab over, you should find a small hole beneath the tail which sits over the hind nerve centre.
There will also be a shallow depression near the head which is above the front nerve centre.
Drive a sharp screwdriver through both points until you hit the other side of the shell, twisting the spike to destroy the never centres.
Return the crab to the freezer to ensure it is humanely euthanised.

WTF? This sounds like a really F*ed up way to kill anything.
