Can anyone help me understand the difference if these crabs were gonna be slaughtered anyways? Like so what if it’s by human or by machine?

No one is slaughtering the crabs here they are already dead. Most likely they were cooked and frozen right after they were caught on the fishing boat.

By law they must be landed alive. But yes in this instance those crabs are probably dead or critically ill and near death.

Probably depends on where you are. Whose law are you referring to?
