I don't mean any disrespect to your thread whatsoever but I can't believe anyone could ever think otherwise?
I'm suprised studies are just finding this out now as well. I've had people tell me that you can hear lobsters scream when you boil them. I wouldn't expect it to be any different with crabs.I don't mean any disrespect to your thread whatsoever but I can't believe anyone could ever think otherwise?

Or at least freeze them first...
That's something I've wondered as well. Personally, I don't have the heart to kill anything (I feel bad enough when I step on a bug
), but if I were to cook a lobster, I would do what my dad used to do when he brought one home and give it a quick, painless death before throwing it in the pot.

I don't understand why people eat crab in the first place - disgusting.

They dont scream..they dont even have vocal cords to my understanding..what you hear is a "whislting"(high pitched) for the air escaping...
Have you ever heard a potato "scream" when you put it in the microwave???

Makes sense.

I remember back in high school, my biology teacher said that seafood have a colouring material in their body called cyan-something that breaks down into cyanide.
thus the reason lobsters, crabs, etc. are cooked live.
The really interesting thing is that I have not been able to confirm this statement by my old biology teacher since the start of this thread.

I never cooked one.
Seeing as I do not really care much for seafood, I likely won't ever cook one.

Freezing is not a humane way to euthanize an animal. It causes ice crystals to form in the blood. It's painful and slow.

How to kill a live lobster
As for dead lobsters being poisonous... they aren't, but they do decay rapidly which is why you don't want to eat a crustacean when you don't know how long it's been sitting around. It's perfectly fine (and more humane) to kill them prior to cooking them.

As I said, I have not been able to confirm what that teacher told me.
Though I am not surprised to find out that this is yet another thing said teacher got wrong.
I have learned that if my intestines were to be removed and laid out that they would not reach all the way around the world at the equator like that teacher told us.
I always humanely euthanize my potatos first.:angel2:
