The scientific question of the day is: Do lobsters feel pain when you cook them alive?
Hint: Animal rights wackos hold your ears.
Answer:
If you answered no, you were wrong! The correct answer is a resounding yes. If they weren’t so unbelievably delicious, I might care.
A new study concludes that crustaceans, like those tasty, succulent lobsters, likely do feel pain when you throw them into a pot of merrily boiling water.
Robert Elwood, a professor of animal behavior at Queen’s University in Belfast, Ireland, and the co-author of a new study on crustaceans and pain published in the Journal of Animal Behavior, talks about the drama in the kitchen.
On our blog, we’ll link to the study and a video on the humane way to cook a lobster. Hint: Kill it first.
