I can't do it. Saw them on the conveyor belt and had to close it. Any animal death/pain ----- I pick up worms and snails off sidewalks and pitch them into the grass.

Humans deserve to exterminate themselves.

I wonder if it's possible to buy seafood counter animals and rear them in a tank like some kinda lunatic mad science type
I was able to do this with oysters but they didn't live more than I think 8 or so months

i'm gonna put a livestock feeder trough in my basement and fill it with monstrous benthic abominations

Crayfish are your best bet! I had a few in a rudimentary aquarium setup as a neglectful kid, so I imagine as an adult with common sense it would be even easier. Plus, they're freshwater critters!

the crabs are killed very quickly and efficiently by a spinning metal thing that rips off their top shell instantly. I doubt there's any pain to speak of. It's beautiful, really.

We often take the family younglings crabbing from a local jetty. The last time we went, this little guy wanted to express his displeasure at being in a bucket after we turned them loose (all the other little crabs buried themselves in the sand).

edit: oh, it's not a link to the full size image any more. meh.

The one I saw was randomly waving it's arms around and snipping, then if it caught something brought it back to it's mouth.

Apparently they don't play well with anything their own size or smaller. Or even bigger things. Their kinda assholes for their size.

I can't imagine this. The sound alone would drive me insane. I walk my dog every morning and on damp morning we have these big shelled mofos that make horrible popping noises when you step on them. And of course they love to crawl over the wide expanse of concrete that is regularly being walked through in the morning so I usually end up trying to move them all off into safe spots in the grass so I don't have to listen to that horrible noise and see their broken bodies. Meanwhile I'm also tip-toeing through the grass like I'm sneaking around in a cartoon so I don't kill any of the poor bastards while my dog is trying to find a place to poo poo.

I've also taken a lot of pictures of them and they're quite friendly. I would post but this is for crabs only. Maybe I should make a snails thread.

If crabs don't want to be eaten, why are they so delicious?
