Jesus Christ the “is it mean to boil a lobster” debate is so retarded

Lobsters are overgrown cockroaches. Who gives a shit how you kill them?

pretty much this.

Waste of time and money, but I guess the Swiss have plenty of that with the watches and the gold.

and the choc_late

Annnddd...the new law gets enforced as often as someone driving 60 in a 55 gets a ticket. Grow up and stop fapping to tranny porn like a /pol/tard.

I don't have access to lobster and so have never cooked it, is there some kind of difference between boiling it live and boiling it after killing it?

it makes a difference to the lobster

One lets you hold a lobsters life in your hands like a GOD.
The other one lets you stab the lobster in the head like a pansy first.

Nobody gives a shit about the lobster. If we did, we wouldn't be eating them.

Me. Considering you don't care, and I do, you might as well do it my way.

Koreans say suffering improves flavor and I enjoy Korean BBQ so clearly boiling lobster is the correct way to do it.

If you care then (YOU) don’t boil them alive. I will continue to boil them.

Slaughtering it is difficult and messy, and potentially dangerous for the average home cook who still stabs themselves through the hand trying to halve an avocado.

It's not even merciful to the animal, lobsters simply do not have pain receptors of any sort.
If you want the illusion of mercy, it's far safer and easier to simply hypnotize the lobster and put it to sleep with a backrub.

The way I cook them: put lobster in oven, turn on gas, leave it on for 10 minutes. Turn off gas, open oven, ventilate the kitchen. Prepare lobster, oven again the fucker. Because not kosher

Why? I thought you didn't care.

Aren't they fucked almost like 2 seconds after they go in? Don't they also not have pain receptors in the normal way that humans would think of them?

yes, the article even makes a point that lobsters are pretty much retarded.

>potentially dangerous for the average home cook

>turn on gas, leave it on for 10 minutes.

>Turn off gas, open oven, ventilate the kitchen

Flooding your kitchen with gas is in fact potentially dangerous. And not everyone has a gas oven to begin with.
The standard way to kill a lobster is to just stab it through the shell.

What about tranny porn? Huh?

If we claim to care about animal welfare and properly sourcing our meat, the standard has to be reasonably equal across the board.
If it would be cruel to boil a cow alive, it should be considered cruel to boil a lobster alive.

Because it’s by far the easiest way to cook them. And since I don’t care I will cook them the easiest way. How stupid are you that you can’t see this? Wtf is logic

...

i feel bad about the lobster
doesn't change the fact i eat them and they are delicious though
i would feel less bad if i knew it died swiftly though

Don't eat them then fag.

So you do care.

Good.

they don't experience pain the same way humans do
it doesn't mean they don't experience pain at all

It does mean they don't experience pain at all.
They literally lack the nervous structure that senses and conveys pain.

>I don't have access to lobster and so have never cooked it, is there some kind of difference between boiling it live and boiling it after killing it?
Water floods the cavity of a stabbed lobster. Yay for watery meat? No tomalley for those who care to eat it? Yea, I don't think so.

lobster is shit, let them suffer

Not him, but you have severe autism

No dickhead. Different animals have adapted to different needs. Cows need pain receptors while lobsters and insects don't. Therefor, putting them on the same level for animal welfare is fucking retarded

...

That dog looks so disappointed. Like blind date with an obese aging secretary disappointed.

>turn on gas, leave it on for 10 minutes
Are you autistic?

Lobsters are freaky as fuck

That's oddly specific. Do you have a story to share?

...

Nah, despite being fairly straight I am a drama queen. No stress involved, I just like describing things in a unique fashion.

Though I did have a friend I had a date with introduce me to her fat friend who sabotaged our date so she cold ask me out, which ruined their friendship. And our friendship never recovered. Don't trust fat women; they will consume you.

>Snipped

Theyre fucking marine insects for fuck sakes!

Couldn't you just buy one and promise the store clerk you're going to stab it to death first then take it home and boil it alive anyway? Not like the cops are gonna know. Like how sodomy and oral sex are still illegal in a bunch of places but you have to be retarded enough to get caught doing it outside or something

Because Europe is North America's retarded cousin, they've made the argument the lobster's nervous-system is primitive enough that splitting the head or freezing to slow metabolism isn't good enough.

A lot of these jackasses are the PETA of landlocked Europe and they should be more concerned with the approaching sharia law than a creature that is more primitive than an organic calculator.

I slowly dip them in hotter and hotter water while screaming at them to give me the secrets of the oceans in German.

Boiling is the most humane way to kill a crustacean, their brains basically explode instantly and they die in seconds, by contrast stabbing them won't really work, lobsters can be cut in half and still survive for a long time. The fastest and surest way to kill them is submersion in boiling water.

Or shooting them

>go diving
>see fucking antennas pointing out of a cave
i agree they just fucking afk on the ocean floor or some shit

might as well kill it with dynamite

Lobsters are biologically immortal; scientists think they're super-primitive because their minds operate on a timescale of millennia.

why lobster only? what makes it so special? does that i mean i can boil my prawns without killing it humanely?

They have opioid receptors which suggests they feel pain. However, people who think that splitting their head or stabbing them is a quicker death are wrong, because their nervous systems are not centralized to the extent that the human brain is.

>land locked country tries to tell the world how to prepare seafood

ok, so i'm a trust fund baby. and i don't like to eat lobster because they look like bugs.

but,

is there some way to make lobsters suffer more greatly? i want to prolong their torture, and then just discard their bodies in a mass grave i'll dig in my back yard with my kubota tractor. are there drugs i can give the lobsters to keep them awake and lucid through agony? what kind of special pain do they appreciate? electricity? grinding? needles?

A woman was behind this.

That's a load of shit. Some breeds live 30-50 years, but their shell eventually becomes compromised and they die because they stop molting after a certain age.

Virtue signalling clowns, that is who.

I would if I could.

Simply not true, they react to stimuli therefore they have a nervous structure that senses and conveys pain

>eating the insects of the ocean

ITT: 56% retards show off their nigger heritage

Gas the lobsters, sea war now!

You're telling me that you can legally kill a person in Switzerland but if you give a lobster a bath they put you behind bars?

alright, next time i cook lobsters, i'll take them out in the backyard, slowly grab my rifle and put a .308 round in each of their small heads so that the switzers don't sperg out ..
joking aside, i won't. cooking them alive in boiling salted water is the way to go, pain receptors or not .. those buggers can wiggle for hours when stabbed anyway.

...

sea dogho is hapy doge.

sharks attack fish that size on the line all the time, what's stopping one from eating that dog? irresponsible owners

I was making a joke m8

Oh yes some humanity im sure theyll live cozy lives not trapped in a fish tank before getting brutally maimed and eaten by some fat fuck with a pound of clarified butter

>torture them
Hate to break it to you but Lobsters don't feel pain. They just die after a certain point of trauma.

Swiss confirmed for cucks.

>extremely graphic

no central nervous system
literally cannot experience pain
and completely unenforceable, are they gonna install cameras and monitor every single kitchen for
ILLEGAL COOKING TECHNIQUES
bureaucratic nonsense to increase legislative spending
the west is truly dead
neo renaissance coming 2050

>if you really didn't care then why do you reply
Literal child

enjoy your sea roach

Jesus christ, why? Lobsters are essentially as sentient as ants are. The retardation of some people just knows no bounds.

I react to stimulating my dick and that sure as heck isn't pain.

How will they enforce this?

Are you implying the government doens't already know what you do in the privacy of your own house?

did you mistake lobsters for jews or something? leave lobsters alone, they did nothing wrong.

>Put lobster in fridge
>Keep him there until he doesn't move
>Get hammer
>Get nail
>Nail lobsterbrain

Dead no hassle no suffering.

But what about crabs?

>essentially an overgrown bug
>suffering
Nigger please...

>*ignore jihadis and sex traffickers*
>*give equal rights to lobsters*
what a bunch of dumb cucks

fridge part is correct but why would you need hammer and nail when you can use any sharp knife

You can tell a government is trying hard to divert attention away from real issues when it tackles shit like this.

> Ignore children being shot at school
> Ensure mentally ill people can buy guns

Praise Jesus!

>Ensure mentally ill people can buy guns
Stop listening to politicians and retarded celebrities.

>ignored
>ensuring

What an awful counter-bait.

>Didn't realize having an illness outside of your control means you shouldn't have rights like everyone else
This is what liberals actually believe that if someone thinks different they deserve less rights

If they really wanted to save lives as they claim, they'd reword and enforce existing laws, as well as provide and encourage counseling for the general public.

Social issues are killing more people than firearms. Accidental poisoning is killing way more people than firearms. Firearms are just a tool.

If leftists gave a fuck about lives they'd be focusing on building infrastructure in developing countries. They're just picking a minor topic and building a mountain on fear-mongering for votes.

That was literally one of the very first things drumpf did when he got into office...

This. Then the alt-right whitehouse refused to release the photo of him signing it. The republicuck congress and drump approved and signed a bill to allow access to guns by the mentally ill.
>no gun control is obama's fault

Wasn't both Congress and Senate involved? Are we dumping all of this on Trump voting either 'Yeh' or 'Nay'? And didn't it just change the parameters for the definition of "mentally ill", not allow every retarded jackass to buy a gun?

>lobsters simply do not have pain receptors of any sort.

That's not true at all. Lobsters most likely feel pain in the most fundamental sense. Does that mean they have a sense of what pain actually is or experience it in a way that is easily analogous to humans or other mammals? No most likely not.

>congress doesn't include the senate
>i'm a us citizen and know less about the organization of the us government than immigrants who passed the citizenship test yesterday
Evangelical home schooling should be illegal.

>can have your relatives killed legally
>can’t boil a lobster
