Both Crabs and Lobsters belong in the Subphylum: Crustacea, in the Phylum: Arthropoda. This is the same Phylum that includes Insects (Class: Insecta) and Spiders (Class: Arachnida). All Arthropods are not Sentient creatures, and it is acceptable to eat them, IF THEY ARE EDIBLE. It is of no concern to boil them alive.
It is of concern for over-exploitation of some Arthropod species.
1) Capture a live Ant (Family: Formicidae).
2) Boil a pot of water.
3) Throw the Ant in the boiling water.
4) Watch the tears flow from the Bleeding-Heart Animal Rights People.
Well you can squish an ant. It has an skeleton on the outside unlike people. If you cut an ant into pieces it usually dies. With a lobster you can pull it into pieces and it will still be alive. My point was they are very hard to kill. If you break a birds neck it usually dies. Most other things are easier to kill but not the lobster.
There is a difference between being "alive" and spasming. Even when you kill the lobster, there is still a post-mortem reaction. For example, when you pour salt on frog legs after they have been killed, they will twitch even without a brain.
Is it normal people would eat such an animal?
