We can protect lobster from feeling pain, but we can create all the pain needed to a baby in the womb through abortion and some people don't give a dam. Think maybe our priorities are wrong. Just my thoughts.
Italian Court: Lobsters Cannot Be Kept On Ice
At Restaurants
Italy’s highest court handed down a
victory for animal rights activists last week that mandates that restaurants
can no longer keep lobsters on ice because it causes them unjustifiable
suffering. It is a decision applauded by many who viewed the crustaceans
as being subjected to unnecessary discomfort. As much as a applaud such
decisions in favor of animals, it does still leave the rather obvious conflict
with the fact that the lobsters are then boiled alive.
In upholding a lower court order, the owner of a
restaurant near Florence was ordered to pay a 2,000 euro fine ($5,593) as well
as 3,000 euros in legal fees.
The court acknowledged the disconnect
between protecting the comfort of lobsters right up to the time that they are
dropped in boiling water: “While the particular method of cooking can be
considered legal by recognizing that it is commonly used, the suffering caused
by detaining the animals while they wait to be cooked cannot be justified in
that way,.”
