Why do they kill them so cruelly now!?!??
shareThere's really only two effective ways to do it: split the head and body end-to-end with one knife stroke, or drop them into boiling water. On 'Good Eats' Alton Brown suggested putting them in the fridge until they go dormant, first, but in a time cooking contest, they just don't have that leisure.
If it helps any, imagine what they would go through if they were eaten alive by a predator, in the wild.
- What are you gonna do, when the world catches on?
Well just "tearing them apart" cannot be much different then being eaten by a predator. I don't understand why they have to be so cruel?
shareThat's my point: They don't suffer any more or less when they die in the wild, than they do when they're cooked.

I think the issue is the need editors have in showing it over and over again like it turns them on or something. Like "Get the MONEY SHOT!...Oooh baby, YEAH!!"
But I think Alton suggested the freezer, not the friodge, for the humane way.
I remember a chef saying that all crustaceans are mean and wouldn't be as nice as we are if they were 9 feet tall and got a hold of us. Lol
