Why wouldn't you euthanase the crabs first before preparing them? So cruel and unnecessary.

[@MarkBurnettTheIslandGeneration]

I can understand your concern about it looking cruel and unnecessary is there another way to kill a crab? Not that I'm aware of. Personal there are two points of which people eat crabs hardshell and softshell. This video is about soft shells. But killing hardshell crabs you would put them all into a steamer and turn the steam on which by the way seems cruel and unnecessary... Not much when it crabs. Soft shells are the same crab that have molted to become a larger crab so for short period of time they are soft. Like all things even plants suffer cruel faith. The next time you eat an apple realize it was taken from the tree you aided and threw away it's core... It seeds (its babies) in the trash. Understand your concern but not sure if there is any better solution

I did review your video but .This looks a lot more dangerous for the human then the crab. When you lift up that area of the crab you're actually grabbing a hold of its genitalia. The guy has to use an extremely sharp knife as shown on her with a point to pierce the shell and then when he pierces the head part becomes frightfully close to missing and jabbing into his own genitalia. I was really not very comfortable watching this just for the sake of making the crab a little more comfortably before I ate it. And I understood you found my video of softshell crabs disturbing but I actually found this video more disturbing and I was crossing my legs while he watched it. Interestingly enough I've seen one crab place that actually put all the crabs in a basket and then put that basket in a water and hit a switch on the wall.... Yet they literally electrocuted them. But they didn't do this necessary to be kind of point was the numb the crabs and then when you're inside the steaming pot they don't pair off each other's ventures so they come out perfect. But I think we should that the audience look at it and bring their comments back here it just seems more dangerous for the human in my thinking
