This heartbreaking story reminds of when I worked in a fish packing
factory. One day we had to pack live crayfish into plastic bags. The
crayfish tried to climb out of the bags, waving they antennae about.They
seemed quiet distressed. The crayfish were then cooled to low temps. When
they arrived at the restrurant they were still alive.
 Working at any point in the food processing industry is a real eye opener.
You see how the animals are treated but also how the food is handled (it's
not pretty).
