X Users Notice Appalling Double Standard in Scientists Calling for Ban on 'Painful' Boiling of Live Crabs

We love animals here at Twitchy. Several of us have beloved family pets and animals, by and large, are awesome (except spiders; this writer hates spiders). So not being cruel to animals is okay with us.

But we can't help but notice the completely misplaced priorities in this story:

More from The Daily Mail:

It's a common misconception that crabs and lobsters scream as you plunge them into boiling water to cook.

But even if this myth isn't true, scientists say there is still good reason to avoid this classic kitchen technique. 

Zoologists from the University of Gothenburg are calling for an immediate ban on boiling crabs alive after making a groundbreaking discovery.

The researchers have proven that crabs really can feel pain just like any other animal, meaning that being boiled is likely to be an excruciatingly painful death.

Where are the scientists -- and the Daily Mail headlines -- calling for a ban on abortion, which causes an excruciatingly painful death for an unborn child?

Oh, do you hear that?

Crickets.

We weren't the only ones who noticed.

Sure is.

Funny how they're never going to, isn't it?

It's female empowerment. Or something.

Look, we don't object to not boiling crabs alive, but can we make sure we treat unborn children better than we do crustaceans?

Of course not.

And it's not just the abortion issue:

Make it make sense.

Bingo.

Brutal, but honest.

Our priorities are so outta whack.

Man, that's depressing, isn't it?

Thankfully, X users also had some funny observations:

EL. OH. EL.

Can't go wrong with a SpongeBob meme.

Also, there's a scientific reason crab are kept alive:

Yeah. Food poisoning sucks.
