Okay, huge tangent, but just yesterday at the dinner table this came up. I realized I've shied away from the horrors of boiling live lobsters, and I'm not okay with doing it any more.
I need to learn how to kill them less painfully prior to cooking. And I doubt I can eat restaurant lobster in good conscience any more.
- xattt 2y agoYou can usually euthanize the lobster before cooking it by spiking it at the top of its head, or by freezing it. At some point, there’s a personal decision to be made as to whether the inhumanity of eating a crustacean that was alive shortly before cooking is any different than the inhumanity of predator-prey relationships in the wild.
