Whoever wrote that got one thing right, they aren't a scientist. However they are an idiot. All they had to do was a simple quick online search. Most well read people know about the horseshoe crabs use in science/medicine already. Every person that's been involved with medicine or the bio sciences in the last several decades knows it. Remember the old saying the "rabbit died" which meant someone was pregnant? Well now a rabbit nor anything else has to die thanks to the blood donations of the horseshoe crab.
Doesn't matter if it has been used for decades. Blood rituals have been around the thousands of years. You'd think after 30 years they'd find a more humane way of doing this.
