I live in Hong Kong and mantis shrimp are a delicacy here. I don’t eat them but thought I’d share this. The tank is actually wider. I couldn’t fit all in picture.

They’ll still eat them anyway.Wow, I wonder how they keep them from killing each other? Not something I would eat I don't think
I’m more interested in how they breed them. No way they can catch them in the wild in these numbers. There are thousands of restaurants that have them. Do the math.They’ll still eat them anyway.
Yeah. In Asia, livestock is seen as food and they don’t really think about them as living. Walk into any big restaurant and they’ve got tanks stuffed full of all kinds of aquatic life.
In Hong Kong, they’re much more civilized than in China. But they do eat frogs and a type of turtle they call “water turtle” here. But in China I’ve seen it all. Pigeons, dogs, you name it. If it walks... (btw pigeon is yummy. Don’t hate ;Wacky)not just aquatic.. on one of my many business trips to china, I saw dogs monkeys and turtles in cages, where you just go and point at what you want to eat..
needless to say I refused to go in..

HK is expensive, yes. ;Muted Raising 2 boys here. But, I eat regular shrimp quite often, so I can’t talk. But I do feel for the mantis shrimp. I even hate seeing fish fighting for space at restaurant tanks, waiting to be yanked out and thrown on a plate.yeah.. love hong kong (although its expensive to stay..), back to topic - poor shrimps..
I dont see this as anything different than lobster tanks at a grocery store. However that is cramped so hopefully theyre not in the for long.Let's not judge.
I'm sure there are things in our diet that leave them feeling the same way about us.
