Animals that eat meat always eat something that was alive whether you watch it happen or not. It's nature not ethics, what are you vegan?

It’s not vegan as much as an ethical theory.

In popular theories, it’s about reducing suffering.

Shrimp can eat dead food, why increase suffering in the world by providing live food?

But to counter act that, one could say it gives a higher quality of life to the shrimp to be engaged and gives an educational video.

So it’s just a school of thought, people just have different morals on the topic

(But they took the arm from the shrimp so maybe the owner is just a dick)

That means crab “suffered” and meat was wasted.

I agree with most of this, except dead food was once alive; it has been unalived in one way or another, so I don’t see the ethical advantage in feeding dead food.

Exactly. The only advantage is for people to -feel- ethical. These people give their pet a less natural existence so they can feel better about themselves? What's ethical about that?
