SA lawmakers want crab declawing outlawed

Lawmakers and advocates gathered Tuesday to push for a bill that would make it illegal to declaw crabs in South Australia, but a group representing the state's veterinarians says the procedure should remain legal.

Advocates ranging from state Animal Society members to individual veterinarians met in Adelaide to push for a bill sponsored by Assemblymember Linda Crablady, which would ban the practice of declawing crabs except when medically necessary.

So would you basically cut off the equivalent of 2 knuckles from your hands or keep them? Would you cut your toes off?

I wouldn't.

this is an interesting approach, but maybe they should tackle the problem using preventative measures like rubber bands around the claws, or reviewing and adjusting crab/human interaction policies and procedures?

It's hosed up to declaw a crab because without claws they're basically just a head with legs

I think the crabs deserve a little fear and respect from us, as their babies are born with claws capable of killing most things smaller than themselves, unlike human babies

Just because that guy allowed a crab to disarm him doesn't mean we should disarm crabs

If you take away a crab's right to bear arms, they're just going to do this instead

I am now convinced that lobsters feel pain. Anything that stops being bothered by sharp pokes after you numb it up pretty loving clearly feels pain.


That said Crustaceans are related to Arachnids so gently caress that poo poo let those eight legged fuckers suffer along with their land dwelling friends.

don't declaw crabs you momos. It's cruel and it leaves them defenseless. If you are so worried about your $150 Ikea couch you shouldn't have got a crab in the first place. Use your drat brains for once you evil idiots.

My roommate cooked some crabs the other day. Brought em home live from the seafood market and I had no idea how they were prepared from such a state. Dude ripped their claws off with his bare hands, let em chill in the cold water bath (still alive) for a few minutes, then finally ripped their main back plate off (again with bare hands) to reveal their still-beating heart which was promptly extinguished.

The whole thing was metal as gently caress and slightly disturbing in its brutality.

Sorry I don't know anything about prepping crabs, just reporting what I saw. But that's how he did it. Could be he's just a scrub but he himself seemed confident that was a good way of doing things.

You steam crabs. I mean I don't know for sure but I think that would actually make their agony worse (steaming). drat are they delicious though.

Why would you cut the claws off? Claw meat is awesome.

e: I guess I come from a family that either eats crabs whole/steamed; on a related note I live in WI so I have to pay like 100 bucks a half bushel, steamed and dry frozen/overnighted. Usually, with my family, we eat half straight out of the box and make the other half into soup.

Maybe declawing has to do with Seafood chains like red lobster and stiff where they just serve arms/legs.
