Who wants to support my cause to end the cruel practice of boiling shell fish alive?

[Anonymous]

It's so cruel and uneccessary. How would YOU feel if YOU were tossed alive into a pot of boiling water? This is nothing but specisim and human supremacy, with complete disregard for the feelings of other living things.

I agree with you. Let's end this cruel practice.

Piss off!

I mean I don’t think they could feel pain. At least not anywhere near how much pain a human feels.

And it isn’t unnecessary either. If you’re eating lobster, it’s dangerous to kill the lobster beforehand. Lobster have bacterias on them and when they die, these rapidly multiply. You could reduce your chances of food poisoning by killing them in the cooking process.

I know that about crawfish, but I've mostly seen lobster and crab frozen

I mean lobster meat also loses quality the longer you keep it in the fridge. In order to get the best quality out of lobster, you should probably prepare it as soon as possible.

God bless this show

[zeitgeist057]

"That's just air escaping". lol

[dustybiker]

I agree with you 100%. They do it to other animals too. Humans at their lowest form. My aunt used to freeze them first thinking it was kinder. I myself haven’t had lobster since before that day. I think I was 3-4.

im vegetarian since birth so i wouldn't do this to anything but thats me

[Anonymous]

I agree that's it's cruel to boil shell fish alive but is there another way to cook them? What's your solution?

[Asker]

Cook them not alive. I've seen restaurants/markets sell frozen ones before.

[Opinion Owner]

Similarly, but in the opposite fashion, those were cruelly frozen to death as well.

[Asker]

I don't think that's as bad.

[admles]

Where I live, that practice is illegal, they have to be killed before being throw into the water.

Lobsters don’t scream. They don’t have lungs or anything else to be able to scream. It’s just expanding air escaping

[IncognitoBandito]

Lobsters don't scream, and I think it's pretty much guaranteed if you're a lobster in the Ocean your death is going to be pretty gruesome there too

[Cherry234]

I'm with you on this. I don't like it either.

[joeldalton]

“Screaming” from lobsters is just air escaping the shell, not a vocalization. Lobsters are insects. I’m fine with boiling them alive.

[Flower7]

Do you eat lobster? I’m just curious if you’d eat something that you consider to be an insect.

[joeldalton]

@Flower7 I do because it’s delicious.

[Flower7]

I’ve actually never tried it. They look gross to me. They really do seem a lot like insects.

[joeldalton]

@Flower7 you’re in for a treat.

[Asker]

It's a crustation

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

I prefer to eat shellfish raw

[Mac-One]

They can be highly toxic if not done that way.

[Asker]

That's not my problem

[Mac-One]

Then you can just get poisoned.

[Asker]

Just take some anti-paristics

[GMANN56]

I am all about human supremacy.

[Asker]

So you want me to piss off?

[GMANN56]

Why, does it piss you off when people disagree with you? that's a tough way to live.
