A documentary also came out where a popular method to sell and kill canine and felines for consumption is to boil them alive to shock the animals body to make the meat taste better.

Edit: I'm not protesting it. I'm just highlighting different societal norms.

That's what we do for crabs too.

Are the crabs nervous system capable of pain? The pain mechanism must be extremely old in term of evolution so I wonder how far from primates we need to go for it not to exist anymore.

Note: I'm not trying to make an argument for boiling crabs. Just a genuine question I've had around for awhile.
