I mean, I get the health concerns but...dude, that's still a living thing. There's the disconnect because it's a shelled creature that doesn't make any noise but that doesn't make it less fucked. And we just casually put them into a pot of boiling water or a steamer and just wait til it's done.

Jesus...

Edit: I've learned a few things from this post that apparently exploded over night

• This is a regional thing.

• Most professionals do something before boiling, but a knife to the head seems to be the most humane method

• When people read the word "crustacean" they will most likely default to lobsters. Not always, but mostly.

Also, I'm not a vegan surprisingly. Shocker, I know.
