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.
I.e. prohibit all hunted meats? Then say that. But this is not a practical solution.
Yes.
Start with prohibiting animal farming, then ban animal murder alltogether.
It is the only solution, it is not actually that difficult, and it is an inevitable outcome of human development.
In a few centuries, humans will look at today’s animal explotation the same way we look at cannibalism and slavery.
I really don’t think we’ll ever stop eating animals. We’ve been doing it for hundreds of thousands of years, it’s practically part of our DNA. Why would we stop now? Vegans haven’t made a lot of progress convincing people, that’s for sure
