is it cruelty to animals to drop a live lobster into a boiling pot of water?

@Ontheroad But there are humane ways and cruel ways.

@Magenta Unfortunately the meat we eat is killed less humanely than lobsters and they are animals with bigger brains :(

@Ontheroad Nature doesn't give two shits what you think 🙄

@JimboSaturn Exactly, humans don't see it, so they can justify or just not think about it.

@Ontheroad Yep, if I had to kill all my meat, I wouldn't be half the meat consumer lol

@JimboSaturn At least not the beef I partake of. I buy [i]local[/i] organic and they are treated humanely.

@JimboSaturn Judas fucking Priest, have you ever worked at a meat packing plant? I have, the method of killing them is actually quite humane, a powered thump to their head is instant, they don't feel any pain. However, it's kosher and halal that's cruel by cutting their throats and letting them slowly bleed out.

@NativePortlander1970 They are terrified after being hurded into the abertoire, it is not humane. I have not worked at a meat packing plant but my step father did and was a master butcher.
