Though I understand the idea is because they go bad very quickly once they're dead.

Also people say lobsters don't feel pain but that's bullsh*t, they scream don't they?

They broil animals at slaughterhouses alive too.
The whole slaughter industry is corrupt and disgusting.

What the f*ck are you talking about?

I know they do some crazy stuff but instances of broiling animals alive is pretty rare, I've never heard of it being done in this country. That's just retarded, what's the logic in even doing that? Do you know what broiling is.

Even if that is true it violates government regulations, which no one here thinks should be violated, if you think this is a good reason to get rid of the slaughterhouse industry you have failed.

I'm sorry, It was a typing mistake. (probably just from staring at the word)
I mean Boiling.

I not being mean here...

Do you feel bad when you step on an ant? Nah
Do lobsters really know whats going on? Nah
Does the ant? Nah

Look at it as food, after all that's why its here, for us to consume. Without it you would die. Think about eggs.. we deliberately never give the chick a chance by keeping the male chicken away from the female. That should be worse than a lobster. You gonna eat that?? j/k

Lobsters do actually feel pain though; they have nerves and it's a myth probably created by lobstering companies to make boiling them alive seem harmless. Ants feel pain as well the only reason they wouldn't know what's going on is because they don't have the intelligence to comprehend the scenario but arguing killing animals is acceptable because they don't know what's going on/can't feel pain is silly. Most babies (I'm not talking fetuses or embryos) don't really know what's going on either.

I didn't mean to make it sound as though it was ok to kill for no reason, more or less I was saying that at least we are eating what we kill so there is purpose behind the lobster vs stepping on ants/ putting poison on an ant hill because they are an inconvenience, since honestly we are the real inconvenience to the ant..

I feel that people prioritize whats humane based on the level on consciousness an animal/insect has.

Your right I do need to explain myself better...

Upton Sinclair's got a whole book about this.

PETA does more harm than good in regards to the animal rights. All they manage to do is make idiot celebrities like Bill Maher and Pamela Anderson feel good about themselves while alienated people who actually matter.

Yeah, that's also retarded.

I'm all for tougher regulations.

I agree that the meat industry on the whole is pretty awful. It makes me wonder why some people are so much against hunting, but yet have no problems buying their packaged meat in the supermart. After all, a wild animal has at least led a natural life up to the point where it's killed.

By hunting, I mean hunting which is sustainable and likely even beneficial as a way of population regulation such as moose hunting in Norway.

If you're against it because of morale, that's fine of course, but then you should also consider becoming a vegetarian.
