Cruel? Cruel? This is an animal that's going to either be chopped up live and grilled.. or dropped live in a boiling pot of water... or cooked alive in a giant sand pit for a lobster bake... and you are worried about its stress level being shipped and sold in a store???
ITS A GIANT FREAKING COCHROACH!
