The behavior, as disgusting as it may be, is not particularly strange. I think of some of my co-workers who clean out snails from the aquarium every now and then. They don't want to kill the snails outright, so they put them into a dry styrofoam cup and let them dehydrate to death. It's terrible--when I pull out snails, I squish them and give them a quick, hopefully painless death.
People who are squeamish about death often have less qualms about letting creatures suffer, instead of dealing with their squeamishness.
