Switzerland Bans Boiling Lobster Alive.

If youre using a proper seafood boiler, they die instantly
 
I might be wrong, but I thought people boil the water and then throw them in which results in them dying practically instantly. Like it shocks their body into feeling nothing right away and is way less painful for them than a knife or whatever first.
 
Fuck Europe and their stupid dumb ass retard animal rules.

First he seal hunt and now this.

And that noise lobsters make is just air escaping that weird valve thing and not a 'scream'.
 
They need to enforce some of these rules in Oriental traditions ... those mean pos like to skin raccoon dogs alive and stuff cats in cages for days traveling.
 
Works better than freezing them or chopping right into them. Stupid.

"Live crustaceans, including the lobster, may no longer be transported on ice or in ice water. Aquatic species must always be kept in their natural environment," says the new law, according to Swiss Info. "Crustaceans must now be stunned before they are killed,"

The new edict comes in the wake of a recent Italian law that decreed lobsters can't be kept on ice in restaurant kitchens.

Elwood has conducted a series of experiments that suggest crustaceans are sentient and that boiling them alive is inhumane.

"With the data we know, it is highly likely that the animal will be in pain," he says. "We give protection to birds and mammals, currently we give very little protection to decapod crustaceans -- lobsters and crabs -- and the question comes, why is there this difference?"

Elwood's studies suggest crustaceans will make serious life and death decisions when exposed to pain. In experiments, hermit crabs were quick to abandon a shell if it was exposed to a large electric shock.
"They are really giving up a very valuable resource that means life to them, essentially, in order to escape from the noxious stimulus," explains Elwood.

After remaining neutral in World War 2, this is the first time Switzerland picks a side
 
First, you shouldn't be boiling lobster they should be steamed. I think if you put them in the really rapid boiling water (the steam is produced by boiling water) head first they seem to die very quickly as evidenced by the complete lack of movement. Some people recommend stabbing them with a knife in a precise spot that hits the brain stem.

Lobsters in a pound will turn completely cannibalistic, tearing limbs off one another. Lobsters are hardly humanitarians themselves. When you take the bands off the claws, some lobsters will go down swinging. You know the best female ones by the lack of head movement.
 
It doesn't matter if they are smart or not. What matters is that they go through an incredible amount of pain when boiled alive. Some of you guys have no humanity
