> Wholesale and retail. We recommend a ban on the sale of live decapod crustaceans to untrained, non-expert handlers. For example, live decapod crustaceans can be ordered from online retailers. This practice inherently creates a risk of poor handling and inappropriate storage and slaughter methods. Ending this practice would be an effective intervention to improve the welfare of decapods.
Hmm, not a fan of this reasoning. The solution is to improve regulation of wholesale and retail, and educate consumers how to store and slaughter a crab or lobster. The same page even lists multiple ways to slaughter crustaceans, none of which require a high level of expertise and so requiring a ban on the practice is just excessive.
