If lobsters looked like puppies, then people wouldn't throw them into pots of boiling water. But they look like science fiction monsters instead, so it's ok. Restuarants who let their patrons choose their live lobster to boil and consume should be made to paint names on the lobsters' backs: Happy, Sweetie Pie, Fred. I defy anyone to throw a living

Word on the street is that they die instantly...there are worse ways to go.

But yeah, I always thought the pick your own lobster places were a bit weird.

[chirpthepenguin]

but the last dying moments they spend beating their claws against the edges of the pot they're encased in.... a horrible death, nonetheless.

Would you eat a "Happy," Jon?

[jonsonite]

Yeah, I'd definitely eat a "happy". But as I say, I'm not really into the whole picking my lobster thing.

[rhythmeme]

Better to name him "Happiness" than "Happy". Then we can definitively say afterwards that there's a little bit of Happiness in all of us.

I should have expected a smart aleck comment from you....

Throwing puppies in boiling water and drowning bagfulls of kittens are in two completely different classes. One is wanton cruelty, the other is a historically accepted way of keeping cat populations in check. Spay/Neuter technology hasn't been around forever...

True, but at the same time there are much more humane ways of disposing of unwanted cats. Would you rather have your head chopped off quickly or drown in a bagful of babies?
