I am all for animal welfare. I will not abuse an animal. I don't go hunting. When I go fishing, I use a pair of pliars to flatten the barbs on the hooks so that the fish can removed with far less damage to it's mouth etc. However...
We as humans developed faster than other species on earth and thus we now find ourselves on top of the food chain. I don't ear pork myself (filthy animals) but I understand people that do. Personal choice n all.
If people want to eat lobster and in the process boil it alive, well then so fucken be it. I won't do it myself but there you go.
If you for one second think a 500 pound lion will stop and think about your feeling before literally crushing your skull like a grape and quartering you; you are very much mistaken.
Also how many starving children in Africa would stop and ponder the lobster's feelings if they were presented one as a meal? Your stream of conscience displayed here is nothing more than the equivalent of veganism or some other Western fad - it's a luxury you can afford yourself.
Animal cruelty is sickening and people who do so are fucking scum but seriously - people should be allowed to eat lobster if they want.
I have nothing against eating lobster. In fact, people should continue to do so. It's just that they should kill them first before boiling them. It's a very simple and reasonable request. To me, it's the humane thing to do and it doesn't cost any more to do so. Yes, they taste better when they're boiled alive but it's still cruel. We have to think beyond our own wants and needs. We have to think about other organisms as well. That's part of being more "developed". Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
