Why is it inappropriate? Because you don't like it? It's science. It's not torture. The shrimp has a choice: Comply, or be eaten. Its not like there's a cuisinart at the end of the treadmill. Whiny bitches.
I know it's *only* a shrimp, but this made me uncomfortable and I had to stop watching it. The creature tries to lift itself up off the treadmill after just a short time because it doesn't want to continue, but it is forced to carry on.
Also, seeing this reinforced my dislike of eating crustaceans. They truly are the "insects of the sea".
