Their government was considering a ban on live worms as fish bait under revisions to its animal protection laws - but only if it hurt. Gee, is partial-birth abortion legal there? How do they feel about that?

That's what the lid is for! Quote of the day. I'm a proud charter member of People Eating Tasty Animals (and lobster is mighty tasty).

You mean the lobsters are faking it when they scream? How precious.

I never had an ethical dilemma regarding lobsters I have an ethical dilemma about dropping live lobsters into a pot of boiling water.
They taste far better when they are steamed rather than boiled. Spouse and I usually let ours race a lap ot two around the kitchen floor before popping 'em into the steampot.

I'd change my prescription if I were you.

"Norwegian scientists were asked to investigate pain, discomfort and stress in invertebrates and claim now to have discovered that the answer is no."You know if the discovery was that they did feel pain, the media would NOT have labeled it a claim but instead a fact.

And, who really cares whether a fish/worm/lobster feels pain anyway?Civilized people recognize that while being higher on the food chain allows us to take their lives, there's nothing to be gained in unnecessary pain & suffering.
It's the difference between a quick, clean kill and dragging it out.
Someone who doesn't care about, or indeed revels in, other creatures' pain is someone in desperate need of psychiatric help.

when you place a live lobster in a pot of boiling water, does it feel pain?
Maybe not, but it hurts like hell when an octopus tears one apart and eats it!
