I mean if you eat chickens...You're supporting the practice of throwing male chicks into the blender.

Yes, and that's not even the tip of the iceberg.
I do still eat chicken, but I recognize it as a personal moral failing and point of shame. The fact that I come from a culture where it is normalized explains my behaviour, but doesn't absolve my responsibility.
Making a show of torturing the animal in front of the customer is particularly abhorrent.

I am not sure why this is a show of torture. The squid is quite dead before it reaches the table. It's basically being used as a marionette by chemical signals, but still quite dead---hence calling it a "zombie".
