Lobster Encounter
(YouTube link)
A youngster learns about lobsters. Wow! Can I touch them? No? I don’t like to touch them! -via Arbroath
cute boy and video, but still i find the idea of cutting lobsters antennae, taping their claws, keeping them in a refrigerator and finally throwing them in boiling water while still alive appaling, even worse trying to excite a child for that procedure. would a child throw its pet hamster in boiling water and watch it turn red to later eat it? highly doubtful…
oezicomix: If boiled hamster was as good as boiled lobster I would definitely eat it! With just a bit of butter sauce… yummy!
kind of sad really
from Wikipedia: “Lobsters grow throughout their lives and it is not unusual for a lobster to live for more than 100 years”. Maybe it’s silly but somehow the idea they can live so long makes me feel particularly bad about the way they are treated. ironically I have no problem with eating them myself although I havent eaten them in years – I used to work on a boat for a while fishing for (eureopean) lobster and crayfish, not sure would I do it now in spite of loving being on the water …
That looked really cruel to me. The idea of putting them in the fridge like that – live – just pisses me off on some level.
Hamsters wouldn’t have much meat on them, anyways.
As for looking in their fridge, I thought the same thing, Thomas, but if I found something living in one, I’d probably freak! lol
