# how crabs awoke my conscience - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/how-crabs-awoke-my-conscience/ - Published: 2013-11-27T01:19:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout It was the night of June 23rd, 2013 when the [SuperMoon](http://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/super-full-moon.html) broke free of the heavy clouds over the Indian Ocean and bathed us in it’s light. [[ Crabs could easily be spotted running in the moonlight from rock to rock, skittering crazily along in the sand. A couple of the guys decided to dig a hole. I didn’t pay much attention to them, as the moon was mesmerizing…. _“Look at them go!”  _I heard one of the guys shout. I wandered over to see what all the commotion was…… [[ to discover they had caught two crabs, put them in the hole to watch them fight Gladiator style. I watched for a few until I felt a sharp pain in my chest. _Heart attack?_ _ No, just my conscience rearing up, making me feel sick about what I was witnessing. It wasn’t right, it just seemed cruel. I walked away, out towards the ocean waves with the SuperMoon as my guiding light. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/how-crabs-awoke-my-conscience/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20how%20crabs%20awoke%20my%20conscience&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fhow-crabs-awoke-my-conscience%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/how-crabs-awoke-my-conscience/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/how-crabs-awoke-my-conscience/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/how-crabs-awoke-my-conscience/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/how-crabs-awoke-my-conscience/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
