It's seriously the saddest picture on the entire internet. Sadder than that one with the starving kid and the vulture.

Look at his sad face. :( It is so depression, I feel like drinking myself to death. :unsure:

They're invertebrates. They'll probably end up outlasting the human species no matter how many we eat.

Stay fierce decapod crustaceans- the old world is behind you!Yes, use those pinchers! I mean, what the hell else are they for if not pinching someone about to cut off your face with a pair of scissors? That crab doesn't seem to be struggling very much when you consider the situation.

Yeah, but!..


Today the bay's dead zones are estimated to kill 75,000 tons of bottom-dwelling clams and worms each year, weakening the base of the estuary's food chain and robbing the blue crab in particular of a primary food source. Crabs themselves are sometimes observed to amass on shore to escape pockets of oxygen-poor water, a behavior known as a "crab jubilee".

The crabs have nothing to lose except that electrical tape they wrap around their claws in stores to prevent them from killing each other in an aquarium. They have a world to win.

Its spirit has been broken but the struggle continues.

Are you sure? I still plan for the human race to exist forever.

The human biological form may one day become obsolete, but human consciousness can potentially exist forever through other media.

Invertebrates have a nervous system that is completely different from ours. Unlike vertebrates, many invertebrates probably do not feel pain, and have no real memory.

[Queercommie Girl]

In vertebrates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebrates), endogenous opioids (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid) are neurochemicals that moderate pain by interacting with opioid receptors. Opioid peptides and opioid receptors occur naturally in crustaceans, and although “at present no certain conclusion can be drawn,”[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_in_crustaceans#cite_note-S.C3.B8mme-1) some have interpreted their presence as an indication that crustaceans may be able to experience pain.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_in_crustaceans#cite_note-afa-0)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_in_crustaceans#cite_note-S.C3.B8mme-1) The aforementioned Scottish paper holds that lobsters' opioids may "mediate pain in the same way" as in vertebrates.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_in_crustaceans#cite_note-afa-0)

In February 2005, a review of the literature by the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety tentatively concluded that "it is unlikely that [lobsters] can feel pain," though they note that "there is apparently a paucity of exact knowledge on sentience in crustaceans, and more research is needed." This conclusion is based on the lobster's simple nervous system. The report assumes that the violent reaction of lobsters to boiling water is a reflex to noxious stimuli.

However, review by the Scottish animal rights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_rights) group Advocate for Animals released in the same year reported that "scientific evidence ... strongly suggests that there is a potential for [lobsters] to experience pain and suffering," primarily because lobsters (and other decapod crustaceans) "have opioid receptors and respond to opioids (analgesics such as morphine) in a similar way to vertebrates," indicating that lobsters' reaction to injury changes when painkillers are applied. The similarities in lobsters' and vertebrates' stress systems and behavioral responses to noxious stimuli were given as additional evidence for their capacity for pain.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_in_crustaceans#cite_note-afa-0)

Hence the qualifier "probably". I also intend humans, and/or their descendants and mind children, to exist for as long as physically possible.

Got any ideas how we can survive the heat death of the universe?


Invertebrates have a nervous system that is completely different from ours. Unlike vertebrates, many invertebrates probably do not feel pain, and have no real memory.

If I recall correctly, invertebrates have a much more distributed nervous system, which likely explains why they don't appear to go into shock when you remove a limb or two.

I'm reminded of this joke:

A scientist once trained a flea to jump whenever he rang a bell.

Using a microscope, he then anesthetized one of the fleas legs and rang the bell. The flea still jumped.

The scientist then anesthetized another leg and the flea still jumped when he rang the bell.

Eventually the scientist anesthetized more and more legs, each time ringing the bell, and each time recording that the flea still jumped.

Finally the flea had only one leg left. When the scientist anesthetized the last leg and rang the bell, he found to his surprise that the flea no longer jumped.

Then the scientist solemly declared his conclusion, based on irrefutable scientific data: Fleas hear through their legs...

We can create our own universe...;) (Such a theme has been repeated explored in various science fiction)

Look how much technology has advanced over the last 100,000 years. What would another 100 million years bring? :cool:

There is a famous saying in Maoist China: "The Universe is infinite, but the human potential to understand the Universe is also infinite." :cool:

Yes, that's generally correct. But there are exceptions. Octopuses are quite intelligent animals, despite being invertebrates.

[Ele'ill]

They're sentient.

Good thing I am a vegetarian already, because the awful images in this thread would turn me into one pronto!

[danyboy27]

at least this crab lived in the wild all of his life and wasnt stacked in a small fenced area before to be electrocuted and shot in the head with a slaughterhouse pistol.

i am not a vegetarian, but if we are to make a pissing contest on how horribly we kill annimals, crabs are hardly the winner in this categorie.

Crabs and lobsters are often cooked alive though (and having witnessed it, I do not buy that they feel no pain). :closedeyes:

I really hope you're not comparing preparing a crab to be cooked with beheading a human being.

Whoever made the image in the OP is obviously an ignoramus.

EVERYONE knows you kill a crab (especially one of the Giant Enemy kind) by flipping on its back and attacking its weak point for massive damage.
