Tell PETA I'm a nice guy. I have to wonder if the PETA people really think it's OK to twist them in half while they're still alive, but not to boil, or steam them while they're still alive. As for being able to feel pain, I find it hard to believe they don't. I mean they don't thrash around much in the tank at the Red Lobster and they do thrash around a bit in the pot of boiling water. What possible reason, other than feeling pain, could there be. Lee > I have to wonder if the PETA people really think it's OK to twist them in > half while they're still alive, but not to boil, or steam them while they're > still alive. The PETA people don't want you to twist them in half either. They want you to leave them on the bottom and eat tofu. > The PETA people don't want you to twist them in half either.

They clearly have some ability to feel something. You can't hunt them without knowing that for sure and, while it may not be pain, as we experience it, if they didn't feel something, their reaction to hot water would be no different from their reaction to other water. If they feel something, how would the docs know whether it's pain or not? > I had a girlfriend once that wouldnt eat one because she thought it > screamed when it hit the boiling water. > I tried explaining that it had no lungs or vocal cords, but... For the last 40 or so years of her life, my mother wouldn't eat them because we brought them home alive once and twisted the tails in the kitchen. I don't know how them made the noise, but they do make a kind of eek, eek sound until they die. She heard it and lost her appetite for them forever. No problem, that left more for me.

I have yet to hear a lobster (the ones with claws up here in the North East) make any kind of noise. They don't thrash around in the water (boiling hot) but do try to crawl on a grill (the best way to cook them). I would think that they would feel something. But hey... so does everything that we eat. Each has an reaction to something, even plants. I'll still take my lobsters grilled. Steamed is "ok", but grilled with hardwood charcoal rocks! >> > How timely. My bugs won't be boiled.

I always tell people the lobster screams in pain and trashes around in the boiling water. I figure if I turn enough people off then the demand/price will come down. >http://www.livescience.com/animalworld/ap_lobster_pain_050214.html Oh yeah, as if the HSUS doesn't have their own agenda. The scientist quoted is just as biased as the Maine researchers, except for the fact that he's wrong and they're right.
