Recent studies hint that crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans experience pain and discomfort in ways we hadn't fully understood before.

“We need more research to find less painful ways to kill shellfish,” Dr. Sneddon urges.

It's sad that this is the takeaway and not "let's not eat these creatures that experience stress and pain"

Thats not a battle thats winable right now, if people are willing to eat way more obviously sentient animals like cows, pigs, etc. crustaceans have no chance unfortunately. More humane death is at least a start though.

He's saying we need a less shellfish way to prep this food.

I mean, plants also feel stress and pain. Maybe it's not as bad (and some parts are designed to be eaten), but the arguement for animals always seem to stem from the fact that they're more like us.
