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.
Since it’s unscientific for me to assume your experienced pain, there’s no moral reason why I should let my assumptions affect my behavior. Consequently it’s just as moral for me to eat a potato as it is for me to eat you alive. Am I understanding you correctly? If not, please explain what your standpoint has to do with the discussion, as you’ve already ignored my previous attempt to bring it back to the topic.
