More Humane Treatment Of Lobsters

[Yoshi]

I don't eat seafood to begin with, but I just now noticed the inhumane treatment of Lobsters. I mean we boil them alive. To make matters worse, they can feel pain, and they don't even go into shock like Humans do before they die, and as an aftermath, they can feel the pain of being boiled alive for up to an hour before finally dying. So they die a horrific death for sure.

Lobsters and Crabs are also said to be the second smartest invertebrates, only being outclassed by Octopuses and Squids, the latter of which has intelligence comparable to the smartest Animals on the planet, that being Apes (excluding Humans, which outclass even the other most intelligent Animals), Elephants, and Whales & Dolphins.

To make matters even worse, on top of being intelligent, they are also very docile. After finding out this information, I went on YouTube to watch videos of Lobsters, and I found one by Coyote Peterson (A wildlife YouTuber that absorbs pain from dangerous animals), and while it seems somewhat unrelated on the surface, it really stood out to me:



To my utmost surprise, the lobsters in the wild actually refused to pinch him after multiple attempts, while one in a Lobster house pinched him with all its might. It's apparent that the ones in captivity know their fate as well, so they're aggressive toward cooks because of this.

Your thoughts on the information I just provided to you all? Do any of you agree with this post? Discuss in the thread itself.

I don't eat them either but yeah, it isn't right. Asian cultures do the same to octopuses which is messed up too because of their intelligence and sensitivity to pain.

I don't eat seafood in general, I just plain never liked it, but yeah, when you learn the horrific ways some things are slaughtered or cooked it really makes you rethink the things you eat. Much like bees, that don't attack unless they're provoked, lobsters really want nothing to do with people. Those that are captured, yeah, they'll get aggressive because they're not in their native habitat and they aren't stupid when it comes to knowing what's next. Wild lobsters, however, typically mean you no harm.

Not like crabs...crabs want to hurt you.

I'm definitely not the type of person that ever craves seafood, but I do enjoy it on occasion. I, too, am against boiling lobsters alive. If I were to ever prepare one myself, I'd do it as humanely as possible. But to be honest, lobsters/crabs are too much effort for too little reward, IMO.
