[...] famewhores pretty much define hypocrisy. (See here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here [...]

For the record, they’ve come down in favor of controlled-atmosphere killing for chickens, hopefully the start of a trend toward moderation.

i was never a fan of lobster & similar creatures et al and was HAPPY to find i had actually been eschewing GIANT ROACHES. (thank you Sara Moulton, Food Channel Star http://www.foodnetwork.com/cooking-live/basics-of-lobster/index.html)

I know that you must boil lobsters alive because they secrete a toxin when killed first. I don’t know if cutting their heads off or electrocuting them would alleviate this problem.

What the Petards and Mr. Electrocution are missing here is that you’re supposed to boil lobster alive; dead ones should not be cooked. Or so I was told as a wee’un.

Mack, I understand your venom toward United Airlines for charging outrageous baggage fees, but why dump on the lobster sellers, buyers and U.S. Customs? It’s perfectly legal – and always delicious – to transport live lobsters both ways across the border.

Apparently you can eat the electrocuted animals as long as you don’t wear their skins.

Maybe you can wear leather as long as you don’t eat the meat. That would explain a lot.

so now it’s okay to eat living creatures as long as you electrocute to death first ?? PETA has so many rules ! it’s confusing.

Besides the joy I get out of boiling lobster I love even more that it’s cheap. My mom was the daughter of lobstermen and born in Nova Scotia ( she’s an American now so it;’s ok). She can clean a lobster in nothing flat. Wegmans had a sale when she visited me from Florida in October, $7 a pound! We bought like 8 of them and gorged ourselves and my dad mentioned PETA not being happy with us for this. Now I find out they’ll eat lobster but not kill them.

I can’t wait until some conclusively proves vegetables feel something when they are killed/picked or whatever. Than maybe some of these vegan fools will starve to death. (but of course it will be like when liberals threatened to leave the country when Bush was re-elected)

Lobsters are pretty much giant bugs, tasty giant bugs, but still giant bugs. If you can step on a cockroach, you can put a lobster in a pot.
