they do not.
crustaceans do not posess a central nervous system and they are not capable of higher thought.
they are nothing more but biorobots. they respond to heat and physical trauma, but so do modern robotic systems. they do not carry any thoughts like "I'm gonny die, that's sad!".

If you can name me one bug or spider on earth that has meat like a crab or a lobster or even a crayfish, I'll publicly apologize and admit that crustaceans are spider-bugs.

No. I raised 10's of those fuckers and even the pretty big ones weren't comparable to crustaceans.

>>11217172
Sure? As long as it's cooked like a crustacean. I don't know why you keep posting giant isopods as if they're gonna gross anyone out OP, typically people who are fine eating crustaceans are fine with other marine based arthropods. As other people have pointed out though, isopods are distinctly NOT insects. I think the hangups most people have are with terrestrial arthropods, being from/in the water causes them to be perceived as more "clean" whether or not that's actually true. Also they grow to a size where the meat is actually worth extracting.

Why do vegans insist on seafood being gross because it's "sea bugs"? You realize what you posted has as much in common with an armadillo genetically as it does a pillbug? What's worse is that the arthropods they post aren't even insects.

Release them. The Argentinian ants have invaded the whole coast. Fight the good fight anon, destroy the invader. It's like Ant War 2, and the Germans are invading Poland. Rally your troops, and kill the invader ants.

Because land bugs you have to eat the whole thing, and often they're so over cooked it's little more than a dry husk that just makes you cough. Sea bugs are large enough to need to peel to get to the meat; and they have actual muscles/meat.
