They say it tastes better if you boil it alive. I heard lobsters scream when you put them in the boiling water.

Why? It's fun to look into their eyes just as you put them in. Especially when it's done slowly.

I don't know the steps for boiling a lobster. Do they have to be alive to taste good?

Same here but I put the live lobsters in the freezer for like 15 minutes then throw them in the boiling pot as it hurts them less

Thats kinda f'ed up, do as I do put the lobster in the freezer for like 15 minutes then take it out and put it on the counter. Next get a cutting knife and cut into the head like stab into the head then it's dead and it won't feel anything as its practicly frozen.

Aren't you supposed to boil them alive, like they become poisonous if you don't? Or am I thinking of some other kid of crustacean?

Gladly. It's food. It tastes good.

Still, killing it first wouldn't hurt.

Yeah, then we'd get to see its eyes explode!

Or how's about sticking it in a blender tail first and watch as it tries desperately to crawl out?

I wouldn't have any reservations in boiling a lobster, no. I think people only shy away from it because their scream anthropomorphises them.

We could also feed some of the peices to him,'cus he'll probably be hungry from watching us. That or we could just put him in a press,than slowly lower it untill he starts oozing. That would be neeto.

Brilliant!! Then we can drink its juices through a straw while it screams in horror! Oh man, I is so hungry for lobster right now. The little ***** are lucky it's 1:30 in the morning, else I would've gone and bought me one. Tomorrow though... :twisted:

Then you're pretty lucky that you live in these times.

Way back when people were way more accustomed to hunting and killing animals. Pretty much every common family had someone who hunted regularly.

They don't scream. That's just the sound of their claws scraping against the pot as they futilely try to escape an agonizing death.

But yeah, I've done it, and I'll do it again. Sure, it might not exactly be humane, but **** 'em. They're lobsters, and they're delicious.

Thanks for a useless and obvious view into mankind's history.

And lobster's don't feel pain, they only react. So I boil every lobster I have with a grin. Hell, I even jab in it's eyes. MUAHAHAH I am sick.

I find a problem with this point of view. Because technically, if you had to kill everything you eat, you'd still keep on eating, and you'd still keep on killing.

The thing is, some people see buying pre-killed animals as being "better" because you didn't personally kill them. I think it's worse.

See, it's like, suppose you want someone to die, but you don't have the balls to do it yourself. So you hire a hitman. Now suppose that the hitman gets caught. There's a good chance that he'll be given a plea bargain in exchange for revealing the names of the people who hired him. Because the people who hired him are the GREATER evil. All he did was pull the trigger.

In the same way, I consider buying beef jerky to not be any morally better than walking up to a cow and slitting its throat. The fact that you don't have to pull the trigger or chop it up is irrelevant, since it was your money that resulted in its death. By buying steak, you are paying people to slaughter cows. And that doesn't make you any better than the person that you paid to slaughter them.

BTW, I like your sig. Did you film that yourself, because it's pretty awesome.

I'd kill it to put it out of its misery the earliest time I can without it getting rotten. Same for fish, and any other seafood I catch fresh, which is mainly fish, as I don't go lobstering or crabbing.

"Fish don't feel pain."-random person. Yes, apparently, in a past life, they were fish and they felt no pain. >.>

I find a problem with this point of view. Because technically, if you had to kill everything you eat, you'd still keep on eating, and you'd still keep on killing.

The thing is, some people see buying pre-killed animals as being "better" because you didn't personally kill them. I think it's worse.

See, it's like, suppose you want someone to die, but you don't have the balls to do it yourself. So you hire a hitman. Now suppose that the hitman gets caught. There's a good chance that he'll be given a plea bargain in exchange for revealing the names of the people who hired him. Because the people who hired him are the GREATER evil. All he did was pull the trigger.

In the same way, I consider buying beef jerky to not be any morally better than walking up to a cow and slitting its throat. The fact that you don't have to pull the trigger or chop it up is irrelevant, since it was your money that resulted in its death. By buying steak, you are paying people to slaughter cows. And that doesn't make you any better than the person that you paid to slaughter them.

BTW, I like your sig. Did you film that yourself, because it's pretty awesome.

I get what your saying, and I totally see the hypocrisy in me having a problem with hunting if I have to do it, but its cool if someone else does. I know. But I love beef, chicken, pork, all that stuff. I've actually attempted the vegatarian way of eating, and I couldn't do it.

BTW, no, I didn't film that myself, but I did photoshop this picture.

If I was under attack by it like this woman here then yes I would boil that thing alive.

MrGeezer

For someone who is under attack, she seems to be pretty happy about it.

She's just reliving the last happy memory of her life before the beast attacks, you would be scared to. Look at this monster!

Then you're pretty lucky that you live in these times.

Way back when people were way more accustomed to hunting and killing animals. Pretty much every common family had someone who hunted regularly.

Thanks for a useless and obvious view into mankind's history.

And lobster's don't feel pain, they only react. So I boil every lobster I have with a grin. Hell, I even jab in it's eyes. MUAHAHAH I am sick.

You should try tying a rope to it and swinging it around so it hits a wall every now and then:twisted:

I used to race them. Then the winner got a victory bath on my stove.

What did the runner up get?

The spot on top of the winner.
