Lobsters Feel Pain Too
Lobsters Feel Pain Too
The Issue
Lobsters can feel pain. Their nervous system reacts to morphine the same way a humans' nervous system does. Live lobsters are being sold at restaurants, companies, grocery stores, and markets. The conditions of the live lobsters are unusually cruel and depressing. The lobsters are cooped up in a tank with their claws banded, and their antennae are trimmed. Since lobsters usually live in murky, dark places their antennae are the lobsters' way of guiding themselves and sensing dangers around them. We should not let companies and corporations sell live lobsters because it is cruel, irrational, and no human would ever wish for another human to be caged like the lobsters are while they are waiting to be killed.
