That's weird I've never heard of anyone eating dead lobster, anyone around my region wouldn't consider eating a dead (hardshell) lobster even if it died in front of them. I know years ago only the poor kids ate lobster, if you had a lobster sandwich at school you were taunted. First Nations people here used to use lobsters as fertilizer for their crops. There are a lot of lobster fishermen in my region, my uncle and cousins fish lobster, right now there is a glut of lobster and processing plants have put restrictions on how much they will accept from fishermen. This was after a strike by fishermen last month trying to force processors to give them $5/pound but after a few weeks of being on strike they're only going to get $3/pound. I know it's a living creature but it's pretty basic as far as intelligence goes I don't eat it but a knife to the brain or instant death in boiling water doesn't seem too cruel, not nice but not cruel. People eat oysters live, boil mussles and crabs alive and they're not too far from a lobster. Some supermarkets in Germany won't allow lobsters unless they have been killed using a special machine: http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2013/05/03/pei-lobster-stunner-584.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2013/05/03/pei-lobst...
