"Based on scientific evidence, it is not humane to boil crustaceans alive and so I support the concept of banning live boiling. We should always seek to end the life of animals humanely, and we would never accept boiling a cow or chicken alive, so it is time to rethink the way we treat these animals."
"Scientists distinguish between two types of response to harm: Pain, which is the negative emotional experience associated with damage, and nociception, which is simply turning injury into action."
A study reveals that Norway lobsters can experience pain similarly to humans. Common painkillers reduce their reactions to harmful stimuli, indicating they feel pain rather than just reflexively responding. Boiling lobsters alive is illegal in several countries, and researchers advocate for a UK ban, emphasizing the need for humane treatment of crustaceans. Professor Lynne Sneddon supports this view, arguing that humane methods should be applied to all animals, not just those traditionally considered sentient.
