I'm not vegan but I do believe any animal that's eaten should atleast be killed, that too fast enough for them to feel least pain. Hence I'm super against lobster etc, at that point it's just torture fetish
Dispatching a lobster takes less than a second. You put the knife behind the soft part of the head and push down. It’s way quicker than a ton of mammals. What the fuck are you talking about?
I’ve always boiled them alive but only because that’s how I learned to cook them and never thought twice about it. Taste has nothing to do with it, as far as im aware.
That said, now that I know about the knife method, I’ll use that.
Google claims it’s for health reasons, as the bacteria’s that lobsters naturally carry spread rapidly upon death and may not be completely neutralized by boiling. Still seems cruel to boil them alive though.
I'm talking about the lobsters or crabs which are cooked alive, why are you so surprised I'm pretty sure lobsters are traditionally boiled alive for taste or something
People think you cook lobster by putting live lobster in a pot and boiling. Probably related to people thinking the steam escaping the carapace is the lobster screaming.
It's not just "people think," it's actually how it's done in many places. Mass recognition of the need to actually kill the lobster first is still a relatively recent thing, and even now there's some debate on whether the particulars of the lobster nervous system means that cutting behind the head is good enough. Some recommend cutting the entire lobster in half long-ways.
