This process is generally not lethal. They are returned to nature once this process is completed, although some do die in the process. Also I'm no expert but those containers might be a collection of multiple crab's worth of blood.

Not trying to defend or attack this process.

They get various fruit juices after a blood donation, much like a human would, but that’s not what’s pictured here. You can tell because blueberry juice is actually reddish-purple, not light blue.
