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.”

True. For those curious:
The ban was formally included in the Reichstierschutzgesetz (Reich Animal Protection Act) passed on November 24, 1933.
Animal experiments were also made illegal, while human ones were not.
Crustaceans are generally halal in Islam, especially Sunni.
Shia have a split.
You’re thinking of kosher.
The UK no longer allows fox hunting...
They need to insert a tazer switch...similar to the temp insert in Butterball Turkeys.
In Islam, the side with the most swords wins.........
Wait'll they ban beer.
“”Animal experiments were also made illegal, while human ones were not.””

Thus proving the olde saying... ‘nothing new under the sun’. With leftists, it’s all the same ole evil repeating itself throughout the history of mankind... and all from the same “source”.
All alcohol................
Bfl
If they ban abortion I’ll believe they are serious
Maryhabstwart recommends giving the lobsters vodka. The babies? Not even novacaine
Muzzies don't know what's good.
When you’re out of Schlitz…
Back in the day my mother kept trying to find a beer to have on hand that my brother wouldn’t take and deplete her supply
Schlitz Lite was it.
What would they say about eating live oysters?............
MORE FOR US!................
Believe it or not Butterball Turkeys do not have the pop up temperature probes anymore. I bought one at Costco a few weeks ago and tossed it into the freezer for Christmas dinner. I cooked it yesterday and was quite surprised not to see one sticking into the Turkey breast. What’s the World coming too, LOL.

Oh geeze

“What do they say about dismembering a human baby?”
Don’t go there. I just had images of aborted baby parts being dropped in boiling water as an acceptable substitute to them.
So many changes...how will we survive...
Lobsters are boiled alive primarily for food safety to prevent rapid bacterial growth and toxin release from their decaying flesh, which causes severe food poisoning. This practice ensures freshness and quality, as live lobsters harbor harmful bacteria like Vibrio that multiply quickly after death and aren’t always destroyed by cooking.
