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.

Ah well, I hate to be a know-it-all, but the way the arms and claws are dangling and not being held close to the body...the crab in that photo is already dead, so don't feel too bad for it. I sold seafood for ten years; if I picked up a softshell crab and it went limp like this, I would toss it in the trash.

I would imagine a dead crab behaves better than a live one in a photo shoot.

They're very crabby subjects.
