Restaurant shamed for using live crabs in claw machine

I honestly don’t get how this is crueler than how shellfish are normally treated. It’s no different to keeping live lobsters in an aquarium, except the crabs have a(n excellent) chance of getting away when someone selects them for death.

For me it crosses the line between hunting for food and hunting for sport. The former I have no problems with as long as the animal is not an endangered species, the latter is needless violence.

That said, I am not a fan of boiling animals alive.
