A controversial story about crocodiles: are PETA assumptions of barbarism a fake news because of reptilian physiology?

"People who’ve watched footage of twitching reptile organs accuse our industry of skinning animals alive but this criticism is completely unfounded. Reptiles have a metabolism different from humans and their organs can show signs of activity long after they’re dead. On some rare occasions, I have seen some twitching even 24 hours after the animal was killed… The crocodile was dead, dead, dead, but when you cut it open, the heart inside was still feebly twitching!"
