If you watched the video they explain that the animal’s brain has already been removed, so anything after that is not felt by the squid.

I can see why it messes with our intuitions, though. Most of the other animals we eat don't flop around like that unless they're still alive and in distress. Except the occasional headless chicken. Chickens are weird.

Yes, which is a great wait to reveal someone who does it to make themselves feel better vs the actual welfare of the animal.
