Most people feel uncomfortable
about cooking and eating lobsters—and for good reason: Like
all animals, lobsters can feel pain, and they suffer when they
are cut, broiled, or boiled alive. Boiling lobsters alive is illegal
in Reggio, Italy. Offenders face fines of up to $600.
Ellen DeGeneres once dedicated an entire episode of her sitcom
to smuggling lobsters out of restaurants and releasing them in
the ocean. An American tourist in Ireland amazed a restaurant
manager when he purchased all 40 lobsters in the restaurant’s
tank and set them free in the Celtic Sea.
