Government ministers say that “live boiling is not an acceptable killing method” for crustaceans and alternative guidance will soon be published in the Animal Welfare Strategy.......
Boiling lobsters while they are alive and conscious will be banned in a bid to improve animal welfare in England.
Government ministers say that “live boiling is not an acceptable killing method” for crustaceans and alternative guidance will soon be published. It forms part of the Government’s long-awaited Animal Welfare Strategy which sets out a raft of policies to improve the lives of pets and animals on farms and in the wild.
Boiling lobsters alive is already illegal in Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand, and animal welfare charities say that stunning lobsters with an electric gun or chilling them in cold air or ice before boiling them is more humane.
Ben Sturgeon, chief executive of the charity Crustacean Compassion, welcomed the plans, saying: “When live, conscious animals are placed into boiling water, they endure several minutes of excruciating pain. This is torture and completely avoidable. Humane alternatives, like electrical stunning, are readily available.”

What do they say about dismembering a human baby?
Or mutilating minors who are suffering from gender dysphoria.
It’s got to be quicker than cutting them up alive!
Karens be Karen.
They lack a vagus nervous system. I doubt they experience pain in any meaningful sense of the word at all.
Yeah.... don’t be cruel to animals but it’s ok to be cruel to your people by taking away their rights in favor of foreigners and allowing those foreigners to hurt others. Messed up UK!
Way back when, my parents used to cook stone crabs that they caught off their dock. They would put the crabs in a bucket of cheap wine, and when the crabs were drunk, then they were boiled, never felt a thing, and the meat was tender. Mom&Dad were careful when walking on the dock, because they understood that when you’re out of slits, you’re out of pier.
Back in the day mary tyler moore tried to get the practice banned here in states, claim8ng it was painful and cruel. They pretty much debunked her n9nsense... now i see the uk is reviving the old lie that its cruel
Conscious? Doubtful. They’re bugs of the sea. Tasty bugs, but bugs none-the-less. Would these ministers balk at spraying for cockroaches and watching them squirm as they die?
And the same people believe late term abortion is fine and dandy
Can still I chop it in half with a cleaver and then put it on the grill meat side down?
But boiling millions of humans like frogs is okay
The Nazis also made boiling lobsters illegal.
The compassion of leftists always moves from people to animals.
England, as a whole, grows mor moronic by the second.
“”The compassion of leftists always moves from people to animals.””
***
It’s a distraction, and since leftists don’t really care about human OR animal life, it’s a typical leftist lie and distortion of the truth.
Not that it matters, but I suspect the crabs just suffocate in the wine, not become intoxicated.
I would think a batter practice would be clean water for a day or so to clean the mud out of them. Although it’s possible the wine makes them flush out, too.
Not a fan of eating bugs myself, not because I care about bugs, but because they remind me of the face hugger from Aliens.
Crustaceans like lobsters, crab, shrimp and prawns, and mollusks like oysters , clams and marine snails, are not halal foods, so eventually they will be banned in the UK.......
