I'm not reading why they aren't transitioning to the synthetical alternative in the states. One assumes money, but it's also a very convoluted way to produce the stuff, so I'm curious why this is still the cheaper procedure.

It must be very tough to produce synthetically, but not too hard, as in Europe they are not bleeding crabs anymore. I'm just curious what the margin is that makes the animal abuse worth it.
