hello friends, today i need your opinion in animal welfare, many of us love non-vegetarian food even some people depends totally in non vegetarian food in short many of us needs it for taste or livelihood.
i dont have any problem with non-vegetarians but my question is regarding boiling of lobsters alive.
It is unthinkable that we would be sold a live chicken or lamb to kill at home. Why do some people think of lobsters differently? “They look so different to us, they dwell in completely different environments to us which lobbies for the humane treatment of crustaceans. “With their hard shells and peculiar appearance, it can seem that perhaps they don’t feel pain; they look quite tough. But I think that, more and more, people are recognising that it’s not how an animal looks, it’s the scientific evidence of their sentience.” It is time, says the campaign group, to change our attitude to lobsters and other decapod crustaceans, such as crabs, that are treated in a similar way – limbs pulled off, often sold live, sometimes boiled alive.
Is there a best way to kill a lobster? “I know some people like to put them in the freezer [before cooking them in boiling water],” says Steneck. “I’m not sure that’s a great way to go.” Elwood says that, if he were running a restaurant, “I would have [a device] that gave them electrical stunning, which completely destroys the central nervous system in a microsecond”. At home, as a biologist familiar with lobster anatomy, he would know where to stick a knife in at the back of one’s head before splitting it in two, destroying the brain and the nervous system. “That should take someone a second if they know what they’re doing,” he says. The average person “might end up doing more harm than good, by stabbing the animal in various places before it’s killed”. Putting ethics aside for a moment, there is nothing like a bit of inept murderousness to put you off your dinner.
Guys the thing revolve around me is how is the feeling when someone boils us alive, definitely it pains even we cant think of this to ourselves so why lobsters.
so, my questions to all my steemian friends is whether is it right to boil lobsters alive or not?
waiting for your opinions.

Hi, this is an excelent post. I have no experience in lobsters ( is not traditional in my country Uruguay) , but as a veterinarian and a fan of animal welfar issues i think that is a very bad practice to boil alive an animal. All those bad practices are going to be erradicated , step by step, one by one.
In his book Animal Liberation, Peter Singer states that the basic principle of equality does not require equal or identical treatment; it requires equal consideration. People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is “Yes!” Animals surely deserve to live their lives free from suffering and exploitation. Jeremy Bentham, the founder of the reforming utilitarian school of moral philosophy, stated that when deciding on a being’s rights, “The question is not ‘Can they reason?’ nor ‘Can they talk?’ but ‘Can they suffer?’” In that passage, Bentham points to the capacity for suffering as the vital characteristic that gives a being the right to equal consideration. All animals have the ability to suffer in the same way and to the same degree that humans do. They feel pain, pleasure, fear, frustration, loneliness, and motherly love. Whenever we consider doing something that would interfere with their needs, we are morally obligated to take them into account.
Regards!
