Though it may only be a prawn, it is a cool looking creature, and still an animal that you've taken against it's will to live in a box in your house. Purposely ripping it's arms off to stop it from behavior that is only natural, seems like a "dick move" to me.
All respect given I believe that as soon as an animal is taken into your care things that are “natural” more or less go out the window. Sure using its claws is natural but so is having predators. If you want to talk about natural then put a predator in there.
I see it as the prawn has no predator so we have taken the stress of having to watch out away so it’s acceptable to constrict it slightly.
“Taken against its will to live in a box at your house” Well it doesn’t have to fight to survive and has a normal feeding schedule, seems better than being in the wild having to fight everyday to survive.
It may not be a much liked opinion but it is mine and I stand by it.
I meant banding his claws, I’m not for ripping them off.
