You all do realize that studies done at the university of Maine show that lobster have no pain receptors, It's how they can survive the loss of a major limb like one of there claws without even a flinch.

I don't know about lobsters, but my friend here in Oregon has boiled Dungenes crabs alive. She says that when the water is really at a rolling boil, they scritch around for an instant, then stop. If the water is cooler, say from boiling other crabs, they will scritch around in the pot for a while. She says they are feeling pain and with hotter water they are almost instantly killed.

In civilized countries we stun meat animals before they are actually killed. Or at least kill them instantly, such as poultry. Why not crustaceans?
How do you do it one at a time when ordered in a restaurant?

I guess it is no more food for me in the interest of being kind to my fellow lifeforms.

No, Crabs are giant spiders and Lobsters are giant cockroaches, or so I read somewhere.

PETA members can’t hear raw tomatoes scream when you cut into them.

In an effort to avoid cruelty against the large marine crustaceans, Swiss government officials have banned the practice of plunging live lobsters into boiling hot water, a common culinary practice. Apparently some PETA-types think it is cruel.
