It's just because they wanted something disgusting for the showWell, it sounds like it hurt to have that jewel growing in your neck. Also, the seltenvogel is till pretty much human, and what human would enjoy consuming that concoction. And clearly, the jewel is valuable (based on rarity alone), so the klaustreich has pretty strong motivation in doing all this.
For the record, this episode has a real life parallel.
Foie Gras
In gavage-based foie gras, a goose is forced-fed until the bird's liver is about six times its regular size.
I personally liked this episode. I enjoy learning about wessen customs (no matter how barbaric they are). Also, I like my villains to be rational (even if they're scumbags). The klaustreich is clearly a very rational villain, so I put this episode over Of Mouse and Men, Bears will be Bears, as well as a number of other episodes. This is also a good one that shows the problems with being a grimm. Even when he's not a cop, he's still a grimm.
