ROCKFORD 134 Posted January 18, 2018 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. http://www.dw.com/en/switzerland-bans-boiling-live-lobsters-in-animal-welfare-reform/a-42104175 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the s is ilent 69 Posted January 19, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
