As a kid I worked in a restaurant that got a few crates of lobsters late in the week and stored them in an outside walkin-cooler.
By the end of the week the cooler was a mess with the lobster crates broken open and you’d have to hunt round in the cooler to find a loose lobster when a customer ordered one.

For some reason, I can’t open the Reuters page. It failed twice. Don’t know if one of my anti-bug programs is suspicious of it for some reason.

“Italy’s highest court ruled...”
You’ve got to give them credit. The lobsters took it to the Supreme Court and won.

Yeah, because the waters off of New England are balmy. That’s what they are used to.

Italy has some weird priorities right now.

The highest court was certainly high that day.
Just what is the temp where those lobsters usually hang out?

“...ordering him to pay a 2,000 euro fine ($5,593) and a further 3,000 euros in legal fees.”
Meaning the ruling was in fact a confirmation of an “ex post facto” law .... really hard to prevent a violation!

In 1975 The Italian grocery store in Fitchburg, MA had chicken lobsters for $1.79 a lb. I always found some over 1.5 lbs. Great buy as Boston was $5 an lb. plus then.

Hmmm, I seem to recall recommendations to chill them to numb the nervous system before dispatching.
That is, if one is so concerned about a relative of the cockroach.

I worked as a crab steamer on the shore a couple of summers. We frequently had AWOL crabs that would even escape from the walk-in cooler. Those Maryland Blue Crabs could pinch right through a sneaker!

I would love to read the interrogation report of those lobsters that complained of how cold they were. How do those idiots know that the lobsters were suffering from cold, shoved a thermometer in them? What is the body temperature of a lobster anyway.
Gotta run, they're loading a crate of frozen lobsters on my plane.

Did Italy’s judicial system go insane before or after America’s did?
That will be a question for the Alien anthropologists reading this thread 1000 years from now to ponder.

Reuters is total fail at basic math:
“ordering him to pay a 2,000 euro fine ($5,593)...”
Current exchange rate: 1 euro = $1.12.

The conversion to USD for fine is either wrong or actually includes legal fees. Inartfully drafted?
