If insects and molluscs are to be afforded the law's protection, there will be little argument for excluding bivalves. How prophetic were the words of the philosopher Bertrand Russell, who so long ago warned that: "Animal rights, taken to their logical conclusion, mean votes for oysters."

Of course those rights must be extended to bivalves! After all, when you shuck an oyster, you're breaking into its home to eat it! How's that for a personal rights violation!

Freshly caught,live oysters.

I love how they scream on their way down to oyster heaven. ;)
