Boiling lobsters alive would be banned in the United Kingdom under new legislation that protects the “welfare rights” of crustaceans and mollusks, according to a report Wednesday.
Parliament is considering updating its Animal Welfare Bill — which defends against the inhumane treatment of creatures with backbones — to include invertebrates such as lobsters, crabs, octopuses and squid, according to the Evening Standard.
The bill, which is making its way through the legislature’s House of Lords, would require fishermen and chefs to stun or chill the sea creatures before boiling them, which is thought to be a more humane method of cooking.

Awesome movie. Gorilla had quite the moves in That epic battle lol
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
Good.
Lobstercules is not amused...
Let’s not forget that the Chinese eat everything, so don’t rule out the latter.
But moslems can still slaughter animals in a barbaric and inhumane way.
You ate what?
We ate sand.
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!
That "scream" is the liquid in lobster innards turning to steam and escaping openings, like a teakettle boiling.
