Oysters are mollusks. (Pretty sure about that.) I guess you can't eat them raw (yes, they should be live when you eat them raw).

I'd probably be thrown in jail for the atrocities I have committed against lobsters. Slicing in half and putting them directly on the grill with claws moving. Allowing my dogs play with them on the kitchen floor. And normal cooking via live steaming, via boiling and covered seaweed beneath a fire pit on the beach. The latter most being a really slow and terribly painful way to go. I know for a fact since I have heard lobsters scream in agony.

This just in: UK to ban boiling water because bacteria have feelings too

[MarMema]

Good.

Lobstercules is not amused...

Let’s not forget that the Chinese eat everything, so don’t rule out the latter.

[AlaskaErik]

But moslems can still slaughter animals in a barbaric and inhumane way.

And then when there were no crawdads...we ate sand.

You ate what?

We ate sand.

I thought the practice of disemboweling the sheep while alive ...

Whatever gave you that idea? They have their throats cut and are bled out. Bad enough, but not nearly disemboweling level.

Hopefully, this legislation will not apply to politicians.

Yeah, it’s kinder to take minutes stabbing them enough to kill them than to plunge them into boiling water for the seconds it takes for them to die!

I know for a fact since I have heard lobsters scream in agony.

That "scream" is the liquid in lobster innards turning to steam and escaping openings, like a teakettle boiling.
