I'm too busy enjoying my seafood to give a damn.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

Yes, and we let fish gasp for air before they die so we can skin them, gut them, and grill them.

We eat meat. Our bodies were made to consume meat. We would not eat meat if we didn't.

I think there is some logical fallacy here in the matter of boiling them alive.
People saying "fuck it want to eat meat and shit" are losing the point. There is a difference between eating an animal and killing it in a very painful way when you know it can feel every much as you.
So no, not eating a lobster but frying it alive isn't the same thing. And the same goes with the chicken and all this shit. You like eating chicken? Fine, eat your chicken but why can't you just at least give the poor motherfucker an easy not torturous death?
If we were dominated by some other species that had the idea of us as delicacies and ate us we would inevitably have to live with our gleam fate but will at least pray to be killed without suffering hell.

People here talk like it's between eating meat and fish etc and being over-sympathetic and not eating but that's not really the issue considering the subject. The actual point is caring to kill it easily or not.
It looks to me like some who like saying "i don't give a shit" redirected the matter in a more convenient way for them.

I'm sorry, but lobsters die instantly when put in boiling water.

They go into shock, then die seconds later especially if you put it heads down. Do you really think that in slaughter houses they kill chickens/pigs/etc in "human ways"? Or wait, this is still double standard. If you want to stop killing animals, stop killing them completely or be a hypocrite.

Isn't this kind of obvious? Naturally anything going into boiling water alive with the nervous system to feel it, is going to feel pain, it clearly just isn't an issue with the Chefs or people who eat it.

I don't eat any seafood and very little meat, not because I'm trying to be a vegetarian or something silly, but rather because most things don't appeal to me. That said, I don't see how anyone can object to killing animals in a quicker fashion. Just because the wild is brutal, doesn't mean we need to continue it.

It's incredibly broken logic which would justify practically everything we consider morally wrong, and thus make illegal.

Son, we are the apex predators of this planet. This is nature.

What do you say to the lobster living in the ocean that finds a clam, pries open the poor chap that is fighting for its life, and devours its living insides?

I'd also like to add (having studied a lot of physiology in my lifetime) that pain is a very general and non-descriptive scientific term. I can't even find the shady ass plebian article the OP posted. I'd like to read the actual literature before anything. But anyways, like i said, "pain" greatly varies in both classification terms and integrated terms, meaning that the more advanced the organism, the more levels of pain there is and how it interacts with the rest of physiological functions, aka SUFFERING.

Also, if some advanced species appeared and started to dominate us, it would be up to us to survive. This means that we would have to fight for it. Lobsters were not able to achieve supremacy.

Look at what vegetarians do to plants - you cut that shit up alive dayum!!!!

That's a myth actually... The sound you hear when you boil them is the air getting out from under their shells.

Those are not screams, cries, etc.

The squealing sound is air escaping from their shells, not screaming of any kind. Still fucked up in my opinion though.

It's not as bad as anything that goes on in the meat or dairy industries though.
