You can still kill it, and eat it. You just have to kill it with a knife before boiling it.
I find it odd that they’re drawing the line at lobsters feeling pain, yet ignoring all of the mediocre regulation on factory farmed meat.
What next, they’ll apply this to children. What about my cannibalism rights. I can’t believe this country and what not. I blame Jack Layton.
Banning boiling lobsters while changing guidelines to allow Halal slaughter. Hmmm.Â
Are the lobster police going to turn up at my door every other year when I cook one to ensure it dead before I boil it?
I dont think restaurants will mind knifing the lobsters before cooking them if that is not what they are already doing.
Steaming it is then…got it.
I try to play by the rules.
Why are people defending killing lobsters by boiling? It’s a basic level of empathy to not want to torture a living thing before eating it. People can kill it more humanely before cooking, it still cooks the same.
Lobster fishermen here.
China and the US buys 80% of our lobsters. Still. To this day, even with all of the BS
Banning the boiling of lobsters because of activists and to open up trade routes to Switzerland would cost the industry and restaurant industry millions and millions and millions.
Equipment needed for electricity killing, banning lobsters shipped on ice, differentiating between shipments to different nations based on the mortality
This idea is the r word we cannot say lolol
I’m 6th generation, by grandfather owned a cannery and shipped lobsters before the wide spread usage of trucks and refrigeration….i know what im talking about lol
What’s the big deal with killing them before you boil them? I don’t get the issue at all.
Guarantee the combine used to harvest the vegetables that will be on the same plate as the lobster didn’t kill the field mice, shrews, small bird, snakes and countless insects ethically.
What a world to live in.
So the entire story is speculation on what might happen if a ban were introduced but there’s no consensus on whether there should be a ban or not because there’s  consensus on how lobsters feel pain. Talk about a slow news day and a click bait headline.
im so confused cant they just stab the lobster first before boiling??
This is so stupid
This is an important thing that should be in discussion because literally nothing else important worth anyone else’s time , is happening right now.
impossible to enforce, seem like a distraction.
I’ve worked in many restaurants and all of them have killed the lobster before cooking.
This is a nonissue
> The issue has already prompted bans in the U.K., Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand…
Certainly Canadian lobster fishing and processing industry is bigger than that of Switzerland.
I bought some live shrimp before and filling the bag with fresh water killed them quickly. Seems more humane than boiling but I’m not sure it’d work with lobsters
What people aren’t thinking about here are the lobster plants that cook the lobster before packaging and shipping. That will require them to come up with new methods. If they have to knife every lobster that adds up a lot of labour.Â
If the plant already sells to European markets then they will have to invest in the new methods regardless to continue selling.Â
I don’t believe there will be any issue at any other level
So how exactly is this going to be policed again? Is the DFO going to follow everyone home after they buy a lobster?
Boiling water is an issue but perfectly fine to sell and promote halal meat?Â
Interesting…
What is the desired method of killing a lobster before cooking? How are fish killed for eating?
How they gonna know if I boil it in my kitchen?
this is silly. just weigh em up, set the timer based on how much they weigh and toss em in. easy lobster every time.
The expert in this article basically says that it would only effect the industry if restaraunts hypothetically stopped serving lobster due to not being able to boil them live…. that won’t happen because it’s arguably just as easy to stab it in the head before dropping it in the pot. There’s no way a 1 second stab to the head would have any effect on a restaraunts bottom line.
Boiling of **live** lobsters. Just fucking kill them prior to the boiling. It literally takes less than 5 seconds.
Boiled or not, with their current price they almost became an luxury item. Almost within the same class with the caviar.
