Invertebrates can't feel pain like mammals, birds and reptiles do. They would need a well developed nervous system for that. But hey, if animal rights activists want to project their own sensitivities on a big sea bug I guess the Swiss government will humor them. Hopefully know-nothings here won't get the same idea.

Only buttery once you cover them in it. Before that they taste bad, Can you imagine paying to eat butter at Lobster prices??????

I shouldn't have made the crack about serving the evidence with butter and lemon. What I should have said was why is it Switzerland finds it inhumane to kill a lobster but abortion is legal (up to 12 weeks)? You want to talk about inhumane? smh

They like Lobsters for food, just want them not to suffer. They don't care about the suffering of a fetus.

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?
