Boiling lobsters while they are alive and conscious will be banned as part of a government strategy to improve animal welfare in England.
Government ministers say that “live boiling is not an acceptable killing method” for crustaceans and alternative guidance will be published.
The practice is already illegal in Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand. Animal welfare charities say that stunning lobsters with an electric gun or chilling them in cold air or ice before boiling them is more humane.


This is a left/right thing?!! WTF? This just a food thing and if you are left/righting it you are a world-class dolt!
They believe compassion and empathy are “woke”
Nah, people that say this (horseshoe theory etc) are exclusively right wing and are grasping at straws to claim we’re just like them.
Which we’re not.
I’d even kill Nazis quickly.
