I love these critters. One of my favorite beings ever. I've gotten to tag them for a few years. I do classes on them from time to time. They are so critical to our ecosystem on the east coast. Their eggs are a primary food source for many shore birds. Amazing creatures. Please try to love them and never pick them up by their tail. If you must hold them, try to hold them like you'd hold a bowl with both hands. They are docile and they don't have teeth to bite you and the tail does not have a poisoned stinger or barb. The tails are mostly used to right themselves if they end up on their backs. Their numbers are in decline and it takes approximately 12 years for a horseshoe crab to get to maturity. We need to protect them whenever we can.
This is why we need to try to avoid losing any species. Nature has some hidden secrets like this! If more species go extinct, we might miss out on some world changing possibilities 😰

Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word. There are six more but let's just leave it at that. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you? Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman. How many times a day do you do that? Do you use God's name as a cuss word? Would you do that with your own mother's name? If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty. God can justly punish you and send you to hell. Ask him for mercy. His name is Jesus. It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine. The fine is death. Ezekiel 18:20 - "The soul who sins shall die. That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy. Option A.

I lived on the bay and always loved horseshoe crabs. As a little girl, there were so many horseshoe crabs in mating season that you could dig randomly on the shoreline and find tons of eggs and see adorable baby ones inside. Over the years, the population reduced so dramatically that these days I’d be lucky to spot one or two coming to the shore to mate. I don’t know if that’s due to harvesting, or the polluted waters, but I think it’s the latter, as turtles disappeared as well.
Appreciate the video and the info. Some ways I COULD see them not killing the crabs is reduce the amount of blood taken from each subject. Perhaps a large breeding facility to help offset the damage being done to their numbers via being fished and having blood drained. Heck maybe a recovery facility to ensure they stay healthy until they recover lost blood. All of this done just until we no long need them for the medical field once we have created a synthetic version.
Really enjoyed this video and felt like I learned something while still being entertained through the whole video. Thank you, hope to see more videos like this.
I doubt they're wasting time releasing them & re-catching them every time. I bet they have some giant facility to hold them all & then they drain the blood as soon as it's had time to replenish itself.

@Tim v H @Daniel Mason Oh my god. Thank you for the comments. People are just not understand on how GMO is important. Not just food, even for drugs. GMO is when human achieve by smartly figure out and manipulate gene than to what the 'nature' takes millenia to achieve. Just like recombinant insulin produce from a GMO rather than haevesting it from animals (igs and cow). Hence, why it is cheaper now and less people die from diabetes (well affordable compared to the US anyway). Anti-GMO is very good at lobbying and advertising to make sure the 'natural' is safer to it a high price tag for it. Scientist do research rigorously especially if it is related to health/drug testing! And this thing is not even injected into or ingested by human. It is just a protein to check if the drug or solution is totally sterile, free from the pyrogen-causing bacteria.

People cling to Evolution because they hate God and His moral authority over us.
An empty Universe cannot tell us what to do.
An empty universe doesn't care how many sins you commit.
God cares a great deal and he will punish every single sin that was not atoned for on the cross of Jesus Christ.

I'll leave this here.
How do you get to hell?
Very simple: claim that you're innocent.
How do you get to heaven?
Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy.
How to know if you're guilty or not?
Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible.
Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police.
Do not lie.
Do not steal.
Do not commit adultery.
Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word.
There are six more but let's just leave it at that.
How many lies have you told in your life?
Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you?
Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman.
How many times a day do you do that?
Do you use God's name as a cuss word?
Would you do that with your own mother's name?
If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty.
God can justly punish you and send you to hell.
Ask him for mercy.
His name is Jesus.
It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine.
The fine is death.
Ezekiel 18:20 -
"The soul who sins shall die.
That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy.
Option A.
You die for your own sins.
Option B.
Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died for you.
Can't fool me, Real Science.

I lived on the bay and always loved horseshoe crabs. As a little girl, there were so many horseshoe crabs in mating season that you could dig randomly on the shoreline and find tons of eggs and see adorable baby ones inside. Over the years, the population reduced so dramatically that these days I’d be lucky to spot one or two coming to the shore to mate. I don’t know if that’s due to harvesting, or the polluted waters, but I think it’s the latter, as turtles disappeared as well.
Thank you for the free science content and listing the references. 🌟 💫
Appreciate the video and the info.
Some ways I COULD see them not killing the crabs is reduce the amount of blood taken from each subject.
Perhaps a large breeding facility to help offset the damage being done to their numbers via being fished and having blood drained.
Heck maybe a recovery facility to ensure they stay healthy until they recover lost blood.
All of this done just until we no long need them for the medical field once we have created a synthetic version.
I'm starting to think humanity's only purpose is to destroy.
very informative with well-made presentation, thank you so much

GMO is when human achieve by smartly figure out and manipulate gene than to what the 'nature' takes millenia to achieve. Just like recombinant insulin produce from a GMO rather than haevesting it from animals (igs and cow). Hence, why it is cheaper now and less people die from diabetes (well affordable compared to the US anyway). Anti-GMO is very good at lobbying and advertising to make sure the 'natural' is safer to it a high price tag for it. Scientist do research rigorously especially if it is related to health/drug testing! And this thing is not even injected into or ingested by human. It is just a protein to check if the drug or solution is totally sterile, free from the pyrogen-causing bacteria.

Horseshoe and helmet are an interesting contrast.

Why not farm them.. Keep the ones they caught.. Feed them give them easier lifes and stop taking new ones..
Well some animals don't survive captivity
Yeah, it's weird, it sounds awfully profitable.
That sounds like a good idea...
you think they never thought of that? How could they have possibly missed such an obvious answer? They're spending millions or even billions to come up with an alternative trying to figure the exact component of the blood yet never thought of just farming them? Yeah if they could, they would.
Just take a lil blood then release em.... Then repeat 🔁
