Why De-clawing Live Crabs before feeding may be a good idea

This Swimming crab obviously has been planned as a dinner guest for these three chunky stooges,
but dang blast it, she's going down swinging !

At the 1:44 point of this 2:48 video, check out the extensive battle damage old crabby's razor sharp claws
did to face of the first puffer who foolishly just jumped right in to the cage match.

The last puffer seems to finally understand how to defeat claw tactics 101 - JUST EAT THEM.

If the keeper really care for the fish, he/she would declaw a crab of this size before feeding. Sorry if I sound harsh, this is plain stupid.

Yes, Welch4, there certainly are. Sadly, many unique display fish never survive the steep, owner's learning curve.

Even sadder, many fish tank owners simply don't care, and never will. They look at an impressive animal like
this MBU, and to them it's a nothing more than a mildly amusing, battery powered, child's toy..

"If it dies or grows weak, I'll just toss it away and get a new one."

That poor MBU's face looks like it's been struck repeatedly with an icepick. Sigh. :(
