Shell Shanty Hermit Crab Co

Ah, yes. The founder of an industry which could single-handedly accomplish the one thing it does right: driving an entire species to extinction and making a quick buck off of it. There is literally nothing else this company can do than that.

They waste materials making torture chambers and sell them for next to nothing. They make their clients no real profit when those useless objects are returned less than a month later, after successfully completing their job of killing the crustacean. The animals in question are illegally collected from their natural habitats and are treated with less care than a sack of gravel. Most of them die in the process of transport, robbing their clients of their money, and not to mention robbing the animals or what would’ve been a long life and fulfilling their role as vital parts of their ecosystem.

There is no benefitting anyone in this sickening industry except those at the very top of the scheme, and I will never understand why retailers still support them. It hurts the buyers, it hurts the sellers, it hurts the consumers and traumatizes children. It hurts the ecosystem, both the land and the ocean, and it tortures living creatures in the worst ways humanly imaginable.

I can’t wait for the day reformers finally take action against them and the hermit crab industry as a whole. I pray on their demise. I hope them and anyone who willingly associates with them a life as awful as they inflict on those unfortunate animals. 🩷

Absolutely awful business, inhumane way of keeping and raising hermit crabs. Literally Google hermit crab care and you'll see this business is slowly killing these animals.
