Default Study Says Lobsters Feel Pain

A new study concludes that crustaceans, like those tasty, succulent lobsters, likely do feel pain when you throw them into a pot of merrily boiling water.

Robert Elwood, a professor of animal behavior at Queen's University in Belfast, Ireland, and the co-author of a new study on crustaceans and pain published in the Journal of Animal Behavior, talks about the drama in the kitchen.

On our blog, we'll link to the study and a video on the humane way to cook a lobster. Hint: Kill it first.

I made a terrible mistake That I can't take back.Now when I close my eyes, All I see is black.Whoever thought,That this would happen to me I'm not chained physically,But mentally,I'll never be the same,Never again.I deeply regret ,what I did.The mistake I can't take back.I regret it deeply, I just have one plea....God please forgive me.

Putting a live creature into a pot of boiling water to kill or cook it, is really cruel!

The video showed a lobster being cut into 2 halves before being boil. The question is "Won't the lobster feel pain when it is cut into 2 halves with a knife?"

im sure they do. The question is whether people can put an animal's feelings before their need for the freshest sea food XP
