Harming crabs is eating just plain fried buns meant to go with a certain crab dish (Can't take chilli, and that was at least a couple of months ago) and that extra rare, very-hard-to-find soft-shell crab (I mean, how many times do I ever get across such a rare dish? And that was a few weeks ago).
But afterwards, I will probably refrain from having anything to do with crabs for a long time to come. Meaning after that little trip to the Rocky Beach off Changi Boardwalk to release around six boxes of live crabs as part of an animal liberation act.
But honestly, that place was not a very good choice, and maybe I should have told them, but by then it was too late. Changi seasides are best known for being fishing spots for live seafood. With all my heart, I can only wait and hope that those crabs will never be caught again.
Although it would be amusing if those fishermen decided to go diving barefeet at that time. Okay, not so, but rather evil of me since crab-induced wounds are also known to possibly lead to infection by flesh-eating bacteria, very likely leading to amputation of infected areas or death.
Thankfully, that area is not so well known as a swimming spot. Whoever decides to, however, I can only wish luck for that random stranger and that that unfortunate, potential victim happens to be using heavy duty armour or protection of some kind.
It sure was one day to remember though. Constant wrestling matches with the legs and pincers of the crabs while trying to cut them loose reminded me of what fiesty creatures these can be.
I do have my worries though.
For one thing, the balance of the eco-system. For another, being grown in artificial environments of farms, that they can adapt quickly to and survive in natural environments.
Sigh, it is but less than a week to another series of meaningless battles. Battles that everyone is forced to fight with their hardest. Only difference is that it is truly meaningless to me since there is hardly any benefit of my doing so other than to survive to the next level. But, I suppose, all this while, survival is equivalent to victory for me.
I have not seen the 'evils' of the world. All I have seen is merely the truth.
