Switzerland bans boiling live lobsters in animal welfare reform

[ROCKFORD 134]

 

The government also outlawed the practice of transporting lobsters on ice or in icy water. Animal welfare activists have argued that crustaceans feel pain when they are boiled alive.

Switzerland on Wednesday banned restaurants from throwing live lobsters into boiling water as part of a broader reform of the country's animal welfare regulations.

Lobsters and other crustaceans "will now have to be stunned before they are put to death," the government said in a ruling that will enter into force on March 1.

So even though these lobster live in damn near ice cold water, you aren't allowed to transfer them in ice cold water.

Before chickens go to slaughter they are stunned with an electrical shock.

 

The convulsions caused by passing electricity through their bodies are so severe that wings and legs are sometimes broken.

 

It's like torture before execution.

 

Lobsters should protest and demand to be boiled to death.

I'm just waiting for Ashley Judd to come out and talk about the time that her shower was a little too hot and how it was - just like what the lobsters are going through!

Here's what you do: compliment it on its intelligence. It's so used to getting comments on its looks that it'll be taken off-guard.
