Blueberry milkshakes

For those who don't know, the blue liquid is their blood

Real talk I'm fine with hurting crabs for our own means. Straight up.

If horseshoe crabs were to become less economically important, is that a good thing for horseshoe crabs? They ain't exactly Pandas, so will little Sally and Bobby care if horseshoe crabs become endangered? They're already in a precarious situation...

Trivia of the day, horseshoe crab blood is blue because it is copper based instead of iron based like our blood

They're actually being fed the blue milk from Star Wars 8

It’s a simple, nearly instantaneous test that goes by the name of the LAL, or Limulus amebocyte lysate, test (after the species name of the crab, Limulus polyphemus). The LAL test replaced the rather horrifying prospect of possibly contaminated substances being tested on “large colonies of rabbits.” Pharma companies didn’t like the rabbit process, either, because it was slow and expensive.

This is the kind of shit you see right at the start of alien invasion type sci fi flicks.

They have copper blood.... Where is this... Asking for a friend

The crabs are released afterwards, it doesn't kill them. Not saying it's a perfectly ethical situation, but at least it's not kill em en masse.

Just like tmnt

Stop all animal testing and torture
