With this administration’s track record, I’m half expecting this to turn out to be the justification for putting “lobster-verification” cameras in everyone’s kitchen.

I mean…this should be framed as an attempt at fixing an urban myth: that lobster tastes best when cooked alive.

I worked in restaurants for years and we always killed them quickly and humanely before we boiled them.

To me this is just low hanging fruit.

Culinary school recommended a quick kitchen knife through the brain immediately before boiling

While they are alive and conscious.

That’s why I fill my lobsters with propofol before cooking them. People always say my dinner parties are a snooze. I don’t know why, I always have a good time. Of course, I don’t eat lobster.

I like this

Good!

After watching Seaspriacy on Netflix, I stopped eating seafood, with exception to dried seaweed.

I had to tactfully shame my mom for this. Asked if she wanted her end to be quick or slow. She didn’t have the capacity to even think of it cause it’s not a possibility. Some folks just don’t really think about others in certain ways.

I’m all for this but how are they going to enforce it on a consumer level?

LET’S GOOO

Just leave these animals to live their lives however they seem fit. Without unnecessary human interference. As we do have that option.

The usual way of dispatching a lobster is a knife straight in the centre of the brain and cutting forward. Not sure why anyone would want a lobster to be alive when its actually cooked.

How can I stun mussels before I steam them?

Coming from Halifax, I always gave them a quick knife through head before tossing them in the pot.

Some folks said that you can also kill them relatively humanely by sticking them in the freezer.

Watching carnists try to discuss animal welfare while their own cognitive dissonance is constantly triggering is creepy as fuck.
