@FacePunch why do a bunch of dummies gravitate towards your thread, Betty?
You're the futurist around here, do you think an advanced alien race will give a damn about sparing us a few seconds of pain before they suck our brains out through a straw?
I think lobsters are a draw in general.@FacePunch why do a bunch of dummies gravitate towards your thread, Betty?
Dana and DC have nice juicy craniums. Easy pickins for our new insect overlords.
You've jumped the shark Homer.Good.
Shut up.You've jumped the shark Homer.
Shut up.
Supposedly the most humane way to kill them is by putting a cleaver through their head.
That was wrong, she shouldn't have done that.dang that was cold of her to use a chef's knife.
Yeah, pressure is awesome.
I think the pressure of the presidency is getting to you. Like when JFK was popping all those pills and banging all those hookers.
It's what makes diamonds out of coal.Yeah, pressure is awesome.
The same can be said about you. you would just be in excruciating pain for that little bit of time. I guess since its only for a little bit, its ok.
Indeed, because lobsters = humans.
so according to your logic, its ok to subject anything != humans to excruciating pain? gtfo goofball. You and Americana down there.Indeed, because lobsters = humans.
"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.

This thread might be more fun in the war room...
Post up them sources of your claims, bruh!
I should rape your wife in front of you, and then kill you, so that the memory is erased!!
calling it the most humane way is a stretch since lobsters have a bunch of ganglia throughout their entire bodies, so the knife in the head trick really only disables a single ganglion. probably still going to suffer since that’s not gonna insta-kill them, but at least it’s a relatively less cowardly way to kill your food.Supposedly the most humane way to kill them is by putting a cleaver through their head.
