For a European ban on the boiling alive of lobsters

For a European ban on the boiling alive of lobsters

Target:
European union
Sponsored by: 

Every living being aspires to grow up in a environment that is free from cruelty and   violence. Lobsters and animals in general aren't any different from humans. They want to see their children grow up in a loving and caring environment,  they hope to take out the best of their lives and live it at its most full.  They also fight and have endless struggles, like us humans.

To justify the extreme cruelty and pain they have to endure to come to person' plate, a general campaign of dehumanisation has happened against the lobsters  in which they have been portrayed as mindless savages ready to kill off their own children and cannibalize other lobsters, and being basically a empty automat guided only by instinct.


 

Many lobsters have also to contend with the long agonizing, days sitting in a fish tank not knowing when its life will end  or having to cope with the insatiable hunger that they cannot satisfy, as often they aren't  even fed. No creature should have to pass through such pain in the pursuit of enjoyment.

So we, the undersigned, ask that the European union pass a motion to ban the practice of boiling alive lobsters and their sale in supermarkets and restaurants through the whole European union.

These barbaric practices should be stopped. As a vegan, I find this appalling that people would even want to eat animals. Maybe these 'chefs' should be subjected to the same treatment. See how they like it.

Disgusting act of cruelty. Lobsters squall when put in boiling water, may it be a mindless instinct-driven shell or not, it still feels pain.

It seems normal nowadays to have to sign a petition to ask for something which should not even exist to stop. Banning this atrocious slaughtering of lobsters goes without saying, just as we care about the welfare or land animals. All animals feel pain and therefore have the same right not to be subject to pain.

This is truly a barbaric act of cruelty. We shouldn't even be eating lobsters in the first place. It is not necessary to eat them. To kill them in such a horrible way is absolutely awful. They feel pain just as we humans do and this practice must stop immediately.
