I have frequently thought about the animals we eat. The Indigenous Americans have a little service for the animals, thanking them for giving themselves so we can live. I think of that sometimes, not just the lobsters or crabs, who feel pain, but may not know they are dying, but how about the cow that was slaughtered so I could have my steak or hamburger. Yes, it is an ethical conundrum.
@samueltyler2 its all about the humane killing of the animal or creature

@Nexus Yes, it is, that is how I responded. The facts about the lobsters or crabs, if you put them in water and gradually raise the temperature, they allegedly, don't suffer as much, if at all. supposedly the gradual raising of temperature interferes with the way their bodies sense heat/pain. At times i thought about being a vegetarian, evolution has favored humans being omnivors, so being a strict vegetarian is really difficult, not just psychologically, but physically as well.
@samueltyler2 Possibly they don't suffer as much, but the possibility is that they do. Why Not kill them before boiling ? Seems more humane
