Kinda like when people take their dog to the vet to be put down. The animal is dying and the freezer is a quick way to end a dying mantids life instead of it slowly wasting away. Mantids in temperate climates die when winter comes.

+ if u put em in the freezer they dont feel any pain, they just go in to a deep sleep and die a peaceful way

Yup, they go lethargic in a few seconds because the temp is -5 or more, thats why crickets in the fridge slow down..
