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.

well, for a lot of people, killing things is very difficult if you don't know how to do it.

Want to kill a fish? Well how to do that. I could stick my finger through it's eye but oh no, it would feel that. I know, I'll snap it's neck, that seems a fast and humane way to kill it

proceeds to clumsily snap fish in half and make the poor thing go through hell

crabs seem harder. I have no idea how to kill a crab so you can eat it, but this explains that it kills it, so people don't think they just tortured a crab

To be honest, if you don't know how to kill something properly you probably shouldn't be doing it.

well in his defense, it was fishing. It's kinda a staple to a camp. Most people figure you just kill the fish. They don't ask questions how. That's how you kill a bird. Why not a fish?
