As many of you know, I am the Lobster defender. (Side job is turtle defender)
I was reading a link on Cracked about how lobsters feel "little to no pain" when cooking alive due to blah, blah, blah. Lies.
I don't pretend to be a vegetarian or holier than thou. But if you really stick a poor defenseless animals in boiling water to fill your gullet, than you have some serious issues. Sociopathic tendencies?
Here is a link that supposedly has facts, but it the truth dipped in sugar.
Sugar coated link
If you read carefully, it stated that lobsters do feel "little to no PAIN". Pain is pain. Whether it be a little or a lot. And they can't talk to voice their opinions. Like my turtles. One cannot possibly fathom the pain they are in and for how long, just to eat? Really. And they are called animals.
This is why I stopped shopping at Fry's. I could stand walking pass the lobsters. Layered in the oh-too-small tank on top of one another. If you look carefully, they are clearly not happy. Would you be? Hands bound and thrown in with 10 other people as big as you? Only to meet a horrible awful death?
I shudder at the thought. Sickening. I wonder if this is what my husband feels like when I eat meat? Hmmm...I just blew my mind!
