You can kill a chicken by thrusting a knife into its open beak to pierce its brain (chickens actually have brains). You hold the bird by the feet, upside down and thrust. The bird will squawk once and go limp. Then you can cut its throat and let the blood out. The problem is that people don't know this and (even professional poultry growers) think that the only sensible way to kill a bird is to cut its throat. Same for crabs. So far in the last two years I've seen crabs cooked alive twice right before my eyes, once roasted and the other boiled. I tried to intervene but was laughed away or told there was no time. In the second case, the lady who boiled the crabs alive didn't want to hear about their agony while eating them later (of course I had to twist the knife in). I thought all this is just stupidity and ignorance. All it takes is five minutes to think, five minutes to go online and ask a question of a dumb search engine, and another five seconds for the chicken and a bit longer for the crabs. How hard is it? I mean, come on. Btw, I eat meat and I'll be vegetarian when hell freezes over but you kill an animal to eat it, at least don't torture the poor beast. Just get it over with quickly.
