I do love me some crustacean. Any who, there's a recent uproar about fuses in the World Trade Center.

Whether you think it was done as a CIA false flag operation, or a surprise attack by reptillians from the Alpha Draconis star system, there's been a recent surge of discussion about 9/11 again.

Chicken are uglier than crabs.

Chicken are uglier than crabs.

And cows are uglier then both, yet so many people seem to love them.

I don't eat Lobsters or Crab except on pizza, because they both belong in the fish family of taste, so I guess I can claim moral high ground here, which is good, because I am pretty sure I would have eaten them still alive if they tasted any good.

Although I have a hard time sympathizing with them. They knew the risks when they threw in with the crustaceans against the mammals.

Crustaceans don't taste anything at all like any sort of fish

NUUUUU

Cows are the cutest.

You know, I haven't considered it before now, but now that I think about it I don't think I've ever eaten crab or lobster.

Yes. They do. That fishy disgusting aftertaste is present in almost all marine life in chunks larger then the end of my finger. And I hate it. The curse of the sea it is.

Have you ever looked at a milk cow udder man!?! There is a reason I am an atheist.

I said cows are cute, not cow boobs are cute.

I really have no idea what you're talking about.  Something I've never noticed.

If the same were done to a chicken there would be outrage, yet nothing if its a crab. I have always suspected part of the problem is that crabs are ugly and we cant relate to them .

People have been just as cruel to chickens and stuff, and apparently it takes a significant amount of evidence to convince them their actions are wrong (or to convince politicians their actions are wrong so the people just stop because what they're doing is illegal).

I believe the problem up until now with crabs and stuff is that crustaceans don't have obvious pain receptors like most other animals we eat do, so there was no physiological proof that scientists could point to (hence why these guys went with behavioral evidence instead).

Establishing pain in other organisms is pretty difficult to do since they can't actually communicate with us and many of their pain responses are open to interpretation, such as fear of the human grabbing them that's way fucking bigger than they are - note that the study here eliminated that possibility by not having a human administer the shock.

I wonder if this study will also apply to arachnids, so we can stop having scorpions impaled alive on a stick until they're deep-fried.

Also crab is delicious and I've eaten a lot of it and I'm feeling pretty guilty right now.

I said cows are cute, not cow boobs are cute.

The rest of them are almost as bad. Nothing but snot and shit covered lumps of disgusting fleshbeasts. Cows should pay more attention to hygiene if they want to really be paid attention to in world politics.

Serious time: I also find it odd. Because clearly you are right, they don't taste the same. I have the evidence of all of human experience vs the evidence of my experience. Clearly I am wrong. And yet they taste like fish.

Hmmm. You've obviously gone insane. What about ostriches? Ostriches are the best.

[Criptfeind]

I've never seen a Ostrich in great detail.

If you want to read about how scary and hard crab fishing and processing was, you can try to watch Kanikōsen. It's a Japanese film about a crab factory boat and the horrible conditions they had to work under at times.

Exactly, we cant relate to them. So we assume they have no pain by default in order to (as SalmonGod pointed out) avoid having to change anything.
