I actually work for a company that does this. The crab will only bleed a certain amount of blood (usually ~30%), then stop. We also don't bleed them if they're wounded or lethargic. I will agree, though, that I find the claim of a 'forgettable' creature dubious.
Of course, this practice is the alternative of using rabbits to to check for bacterial endotoxins, so take your pick.
