Not really. We have to do that with our Mud Crabs. Put them in the
freezer (live) for about 20mins. It makes them 'go to sleep' and when
you drop them in the boiling water, they don't throw their claws off.

Same with Canetoads. A lot of people bag them and put them in the
freezer as it is the 'humane' way to kill them. Not me though. I'd
rather smack the shit out of the little mongrels with a 9 Iron :-)
