He picks up a live crayfish, peels the shell away from the tail, and shoves the meat into my mouth.
Yikes. I’m not against eating meat but I’m against doing so in an incredibly inhumane fashion. Critters like crayfish show avoidance of pain, have opioid receptors, and have nervous system reactions that indicate they experience pain much as we do. I can’t imagine having my skin forcibly ripped off while I’m alive.
