It was a strange attitude from my mother. I observed one of the countless sides of women hypocrisy.
She acted as she was "horrified" to do that, the lobster was "screaming", my aunt was leaving the kitchen laughing: "that's horrible"... but they bought and "martiryzed" these lobsters.

WTF.

It is a misconception that the lobsters are screaming. The sound is rapidly heating air escaping their shells. Dropping them in boiling water kills them almost instantly. Our condemned convicts suffer more.

If it were otherwise, those lobsters would probably thrash hard enough to jump out of the pot. They probably feel an instant of tremendous shock and then nothing.

Does xyz eat fresh oysters? Those are alive when you shuck them. That would hurt, getting pried open, having some horrible caustic substance like lemon juice or Tabasco sauce drizzled on you, and then screaming in silent oyster agony, getting tossed into a mouth full of teeth. Then they hit the stomach acid.

But they die a worse death in the ocean, if a starfish gets them. Imagine trying to hold your shell shut and slowly losing the battle and seeing those starfish mouth parts slip in and fasten onto your tender flesh.

Oysters don't feel pain, though they might show disdain towards tabasco, they are the snobs among shellfish after all

There are two ways of seeing your post..

1. The Hunter gets mauled to death, That's my choice..

2. Any other answer, is not an option..

Perhaps my friends don't cook lobsters correctly, but when the lobsters get dumped in the boiling water of the pot, for a few seconds you can hear their appendages scurrying on the metal. Made me feel very sad for them and I wouldn't eat them.

Asian women seem to like to eat the head of the crustaceans. Grosses me out too.


Didn't stop me from scarfing up all the shrimp I could eat.

They are the BGT only they don't have the equipment to be the L. Or do they?

La Suisse a légiféré sur la cuisson et le transport des décapodes, tel que les homards. Le Conseil fédéral a adapté en 2018, l’ordonnance sur la protection des animaux et l’ordonnance concernant l’abattage d’animaux, dans le but d'améliorer la manière de traiter les animaux. Depuis mars 2018, les homards doivent être étourdis avant la mise à mort. La pratique consistant à plonger les homards vivants dans de l’eau bouillante, courante dans la restauration, n’est plus admise. Il est également interdit de les transporter vivants sur de la glace ou dans de l’eau glacée. Les espèces aquatiques doivent toujours être détenues dans leur milieu naturel26.

Switzerland has legislated cooking and transporting decapods, such as lobsters. In 2018, the Federal Council adapted the Animal Protection Ordinance and the Animal Slaughter Ordinance, with the aim of improving the treatment of animals. Since March 2018, lobsters must be stunned before killing. The practice of immersing living lobsters in boiling water, commonplace in the restoration, is no longer accepted. It is also forbidden to transport them alive on ice or in icy water. Aquatic species must always be kept in their natural environment.

Here's one... have you heard that the new movie about the USA astronauts landing on the moon will NOT show them planting the US Flag?

I know every major movie wants to cater to an international audience for more profit. I get that. I'm also not sure that the flag-planting scene is vital to the theme of the movie. So I'm not quite convinced that its omission is politically correct bullshit. Unless it is.

Flag planting sounds as the least interesting part of the whole moon landing, also consider all of us non-Americans who have to sit through a lot of that patriotism in Hollywood films and roll our eyes.

But it might just be because the actual planting of the flag wasn't visually too epic if they want to keep it realistic (remember there being no wind and different gravity on the moon)

Let's not be too fast to judge (if the rumor is true in the first place, these days that's not so sure either)

A starfish feeding frenzy is a horrible sight.... [I used to work in Marine science-on starfish BTW]
