Most restaurants actually kill the lobster just before boiling. You showed a clip of Gordon Ramsey in the video, but there’s another clip where he shows how to properly prepare and cook a lobster. There’s a sweet spot in the shell around the head/neck region that allows for a quick, easy kill with a sharp knife. Then, after the deed is done, you plop the lobster into the pot and boil away. It’s humane, and a more accurate representation of how most restaurants cook lobster, though there are some who do just drop the lobster in without a second thought.

Does a lobster feel pain? “No one really knows” Should have started with that dude. Edit: I think they changed the title of the video LOL now my comment doesn’t make any sense..
@@vavovidnica It´s not right to kill an unborn baby. You can remove a fetus, but that´s only because it does not have a neural network complex enough to allow awareness of itself or it´s environment. Even newborns do not show significant awareness but they are capable of and all it requires is learning. From this perspective it is very safe to say, that it was never alive, because as soon as it could develop awareness it is prohibited to get rid of an unborn.
They're not getting mad at them being boiled. They're mad at them being boiled ALIVE. If they were humanely killed directly prior to the boiling I don't think anyone would be mad.
On the topic of whether they feel pain, while I can’t be sure about Lobsters, there is considerable evidence that crabs do. Tests using electrical jolts show that crabs will flee from, and avoid, caves where they know they will get a nasty zap. Crabs have also been observed nursing injured legs, spending more time grooming their injured limb than the other, and actively avoiding putting weight on them.
Yeah! That's the type of comments I want to see everywhere. There are tons of people agreeing under every film, but rarely anyone post such cool comment discussing with a video and saying something cool. I love funfacts so thanks! I find this one it very cool.
I was looking for this comparison, I've also read about these experiments with crabs. Lobsters and crabs as very similar so if crabs feels pain so must lobsters.. Maybe he could replicate this experiment with Leon and document it to help millions of other lobsters that are being boiled alive..
this ``they feel no pain!`` excuse is a wile and outright demonic excuse that is also used when talking about circumcising baby boys. 100 percent horse shit, total lack of empathy
@@Hatemx1 They do indeed! Used to love them.. You know something also delicious that in principle don't feel pain? Bivalves, like oysters and mussels.. they would be a better option ethically speaking.
C not necessarily, it could just be a common reflex to try to escape to stay alive it doesn’t necessarily mean they feel pain. However they do know when they are in danger otherwise they wouldn’t try and escape. So it’s hard to tell.
@@jonasplett172 which means boiling fears them. Fear is not more different than pain. They fear for the death and try to escape and it is really equivalent to some mental pain.
@@astroace4624 Fear isnt pain. Fear is ur brain telling you get tf out whatever situation your in. and mental pain in a lobster? really... animals dont think in the matter that you or i do, they just exist with the purpose of mating and surviving (as do we, but i believe we found reasons for the meaning behind our existences ).
Wait a min... His whole argument is "if a lobster dies you only have a few hours before the bacteria show up..." . So why not just kill it before dropping it in the pan? I really thought it was going to be something more reasonable.
bananian "pain receptors" are just nerves under to much pressure, they are the same thing, but our brains processes the information differently depending on the force used, this way, an animal can feel but can't be hurt (like spiders), but since a lobster's nerves are under an exoskeleton and are coated outside the meat, as opposed to within, it's likely that they don't feel pain, but we just don't know.
I can now confirm that my phone is officially spying on me. I was just talking to my partner about this exact topic, 2 nights ago. Asking this exact question. 😱
Justa Sarcasshole that’s not even close to what he said. There’s a misconception that the sound of steam escaping the shells is the lobster screaming. The video was just clearing up that misconception. He also literally said that we don’t know if they feel pain or not. Way to just make shit up dude.
Lobsters can feel pain, the myth where lobsters can’t feel pain is just to make the person who cooks it less bad but in fact they are more sensitive to heat than us so they feel more pain than if we were cooked alive
Its actually debated in neuroscience. The involved neurologists aren't stupid. Being sensitive and feeling pain are two different things. Did you ever have your reflex pull you away from something before you actually felt why? Thats because you can be sensitive to something and act accordingly, without an actual feeling being involved. Nobody knows weither lobsters feel pain. The only thing we know is that there are people who are delusional enough in their lack of knowledge that they believe otherwise.
@@AliothAncalagon I feel pretty confidant in stating that lobsters do not feel pain - I can go into the neuroscience debate if you want, and why I think one side is ridiculously and obviously off the mark, but the short version is that pain is a relatively complex neurological function, the actual mechanics of which we understand pretty damn well. Animals such as lobsters lack the neurological framework to feel pain, meaning it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for them to do so, at least using any meaningful definition of the word 'pain'. None of which is to say they aren't still suffering in some way from being boiled alive, though. I don't imagine that's a pleasant experience just by having a body that evolved without a pain response.
Ryan Reid true lol I don't think it's gonna change the flavor at all and you avoid inflicting to the lobster a way of death that seems straight out of a medieval torture rule book
After watching a crawfish PULL OFF IT'S OWN CLAW just to avoid being boiled alive. I think its safe to say they can feel pain and therefore try to avoid it as much as possible.
A marine biologist was on one of my cooking shows, and he said that if you're worried about the lobster experiencing pain, you should put them in the freezer for about a half hour before boiling them. They go into something like a hibernation when they're in a very cold place.
stvia They go in a hibernation process, don't you know what hibernating means? It means they sleep for a long time, SLEEP, in otherwords they wont even know when or how they get killed
The actual chef answer is don't do this because that affects the quality of their meat. Really, there is a very specific way to cut them which instantly kills them before they 'can feel pain' due to the way you cut them and the location not having nerve endings.
They absolutely feel pain, I worked in a seafood department for 36 years. Crustaceans deteriorate very quickly once dead. Cooking alive assures freshness. A way to avoid the horrifying boiling alive aspect is to drive a knife point down between the head and the tail, or even better, put them in the freezer a few hours to stun them. Lobsters can live outside of water a few days if kept damp and very cold
They do not, and you have zero facts and evidence proving that their whole nervous system only detects something wrong but they don't actually feels sensory pain like humans do. They do not posses this portion of the brain responsible for this.
I am working as a waiter at a Seafood restaurant as a part time job, the cooks literally keep at least 5 lobsters in tiny boxes for days stored in fridges before then being cooked alive, it is disturbing and absolutely disgusting. This is the "behind the scenes“ experience of "fine" dining.
That's to keep them in a dorment stage. Basically like putting someone into a coma. They don't feel cold like we do. What ends up happening is there entire nervous system detects the temperature shift and goes into autopilot survival mode. Sorta like hibernation. It's probably the most humane way to dispatch a lobster if you stab it in the head before cooking and not boiling alive.
I feel like the default shouldn't be "as long as we are not sure that it can actually feel pain, we can boil it alive for our own pleasure." Humanity is fucked....
@@kaijuslayer3334 how is most food not eaten if not out of pleasure. Do you like eating lobster? Then it is out of pleasure. Eating lobster in the western world has nothing to do with survival. It only has to do with pleasure. The nutrients can be easily obtained without boiling a creature alive or eating a creature at all🤷🏻♀️
@@luchan1638 the same could be said about any food, I enjoy eating beef and chicken, does that mean I only do it for pleasure? No I do it because the human body requires the protein the meat provides, That I like it is just a bonus. Besides, If you live on the coast, lobster could be a part of your everyday diet. That being said, there isn't any reason not to kill the lobster before you put it in the pot.
@@sleven1160 that's my point :b. Animal products do not hold a Monopol on any nutrients or vitamines. You can easily find them somewhere else. Unless of course you have to eat lobster or any other animal product to survive because you don't have access to many other food sources. If you like your views being challenged I'd like you to watch the video "a meat eaters case for veganism" by cosmic sceptic or debates on veganism earthling ed has done on the topic. It made me change my point of view on the foods I've been eating since birth
Remember kiddos, killing lobsters with specialized equipment is very expensive and is very hard to maintain, Chef Ramsey has a 3 Michelin star restaurant. Not all places have the luxury of it.
@@thedaboink9202 oh I thought he meant the special equipment that places in Switzerland etc use. It's basically fries the lobster with electricity. But that's weird, lobster brains are spread throughout. One stab to the head shouldn't kill it, at most it might paralyze it.
When I was a kid, my mom used to put them in the freezer for 15 minutes before putting them in the pot. She said it put them to sleep and they didn't feel a thing, when I asked. I remember coming home frozen stiff when I was playing outside in -25C, and hot water felt like fire... So I always figured she was making it up.
Putting crustaceans in the freezer effectively acts as a sedative. They are cold blooded animals, so the effectively are unconcious when at freezing temperatures. Its nothing like mamals (humans) coming in from cold weather and hot water warming your skin. Your mom want lying.
Odds are they can feel pain. Even if they couldn't, they can tell differences in temperature. It's an extremely uncomfortable experience. Just kill them right before cooking it's NOT THAT HARD
Actually it's very hard to kill a lobster, and stabbing it in the head is pointless. Lobsters and other invertebrates do not have a single brain, but several small things called ganglia. These are about the size of the ball in a ball point pen. An expert in lobster anatomy would be lucky to hit them. In switzerland they use specialist equipment to electrocute the lobster to death before cooking. Stabbing it in the head just causes more suffering.
@@blimpy8263 just because someones brain isnt in their hand doesn't mean you won't kill them instantly by stabbing them in the hand. That's how you sound.
I’ve always refused to eat them for this reason. Personally, I believe they do feel pain. Like all living creatures, the biological function of pain is to warn something is wrong. If pain wasn’t such a thing, animals would get harmed easily and die without even realising what is going on. Then... go on, lobsters don’t rot in minutes. There is no need to put a completely conscious one in a pot...! They could be stunned or made unconscious, or their nervous system could be somehow damaged so they don’t feel anything, and only then boiled. Exactly like slaughterhouse animals, the law doesn’t allow them to be bled to death before they are unconscious (shot in the head or electro stunned). We should be more respectful to creatures bred or caught to be our food... and avoid unnecessary suffering.
Either way, the Lobster dies before cooking. You can spare it boiling to death by cutting it in half through its head or just boil the whole thing whole.
A lot of fishermen put their fish/lobsters/other sealife on ice before cooking. It helps them fall into a deep sleep that makes it impossible for them to even know what's going on. A quick and painless way to prep.
I agree, thats the best way to do it. Freeze them so that they're unconscious then boil them alive. Saves you from getting ill if you cook it that way, or you can just cut through the head.
funny how u make this moral decision based on the fact that they are boiled alive but are completely fine with the fact that they are killed so u can have the pleasure of taste
I don't know if Australia actually has laws around boiling them alive, but I do know that killing them first, BEFORE boiling them is standard restaurant practice. They do this by cutting them in two right down the centre in one quick motion and then throwing them into a boiling pot. This is pretty much standard practice around Australia and the islands and is said to be the most humane way of dispatching them.
There is a reason humans are at the absolute top of the food chain. We can and we will eat what we want. As long as it doesn't endanger the species in terms of it going extinct, then i say fair game. No animal or other species should be treated as valuable as a human life. Obviously i dont want animals going extinct. But a dead cat or lobster is FARRR less of a big deal than a dead human.
*Currently, I have a lobster in my tank and I have it as a friend. I get goosebumps every time I see videos of lobsters being boiled while alive. Oh, it's cruel.*
When I was a child, a family friend came by and said she cooks the best crab. As a kid, I loved crab. Then I saw her putting the crab in the pot and as it’s boiling, the crab was wiggling (like swimming) and I was traumatized and stopped eating crabs for like 10 years.
@Christopher Philip Reyes I’m all for eating animals as long as it’s not barbaric, and the animals don’t feel pain, and we don’t treat them like they do in china where they skin and boil dogs alive
@@Rounderyathecruel China doesnt eat dogs anymore, your racist idea of China is so outdated please stop acting like the country you're living in is any better

I mean, it’s like God (or nature, depending on what you believe in) didn’t want us to eat them cuz he put these “bugs” at the bottom of the deep ocean and put a shell on them
If someone gave me the option of dying quickly with a knife to the head or to be boiled alive, I'd choose the former. I guess they can boil you since you don't care.
The point is, Roberta, is that nobody knows if they feel pain. You could treat them as they do (as stated by that British man in the video) but I mean, who knows if they don't feel pain when we chop their head in half? Maybe we can feel a slight pain before death, but do they as well? And I was told that they die almost instantly at high heat anyway... IMO It's the same, just an easier and less gruesome way.
I can't believe the guy narrating was more concerned about nausea and cramps if you get bacteria from a lobster. Never mind the fact the lobster is dead. Not a thought for the animal. If cramps and nausea really bothers you then here's an idea. DON'T EAT A LOBSTER. Let the animal live instead of thinking about yourself
*Lobster in alternate universe*: When the humans are screaming and wincing in the boiling pot, is it an indication of pain, or a simple reflex action, the truth is, we don't know Holy smokes😲 that's a lot of likes.
In Australia, well at least New South Wales, chefs are banned from cooking live seafood. It was determined, if the move, they a nervous system, if they have a nervous system, they feel pain. Chef's who come here from other nations take the practice of freezing them first to put them into a very deep hibernation before cooking.
Just by action u can tell that the lobster feels pain or not, i saw one hanging at the edge of a cooking pot with its claws and the other cut off its arm which was in the boiling soup well it seems that the boiling environment is not pleasant for it so it reacts by trying to get away its a corrective measure ig so i do believe they feel pain
Lemuel Hui when animals kill their prey they usually go for a swift quick kill unless ur a snake that's crushing something. either way though boiling an animal alive is messed up. how about I boil you alive and feed you to my pet tiger? same logic sooooo
Its actually not necessary. Ive seen many lobsters cooked and eaten after being killed "humanely" in videos. the bacteria doesn't reproduce THAT quickly.
C North I dont think you can even call that being lazy. How hard is it to stab it quickly trough the skull? I can only atribute this behaviour to being mentally deranged

Imagine if aliens that ate us were having this same conversation. "No one knows if that thrashing they do means they actually *feel* pain or if it's just a reflex response."
Guys, there is a real simple solution to the "why not kill it before boiling it" and the "we shouldn't boil it alive" debate.... Just take a thin knife and stab right through their nervous system. It keeps them from feeling anything, and they don't run the risk of getting food poisoning. There is a TH-cam chef who uses this technique on almost all shellfish he cooks except for shrimp.
Joshua Sanford I know what you're saying, and I'm not one of those animal activists that thinks we should all eat veggies. I'm merely trying to give a solution to the lobster issue that can be used so that people who believe the lobsters have complex feelings and shit can cook a lobster without it "feeling" the pain. Hope that clears up what I meant, I personally like my lobster grilled or steamed with either garlic or lemon.
Joshua Sanford actually some small restaurant do kill em before boiling but I am not sure about the big one.....but they do sell dead lobster in the market on the freezer
+joseph smith Actually, that't not necessarily the case. Lobsters are very different than a pig or a chicken. There's a rudimentary brain in the head but it's got this kind of distributed nervous system with a parallel spinal cord, bridged connections between the two and ganglia all the way down. In other words most of it's brain is actually located in different places along the back. This is why we don't know if they truly can feel pain in the same way we can. Their nervous system is too primitive. So cutting through the head does not necessarily guarantee a clean death.
So why not just kill the lobster immediately before cooking it? That's a practice that many places do follow. If you notice in some of the footage the lobster head has been split down the middle. Though it may move a bit afterwards, that is a dead lobster
Serenity Scratch its a far faster way to kill a lobster. They might not survive "long" in boiling water, but there's no need to cause anything more than the minimal amount of suffering. Boiling alive is definitely not the fastest practical way to end the lobsters life.
Firman N yeah... Not that fast. I have a doctorate in pharmacy. The time between cutting lobster and throwing it in a pot shouldn't be long in any reputable kitchen.

@@vavovidnica It´s not right to kill an unborn baby. You can remove a fetus, but that´s only because it does not have a neural network complex enough to allow awareness of itself or it´s environment. Even newborns do not show significant awareness but they are capable of and all it requires is learning. From this perspective it is very safe to say, that it was never alive, because as soon as it could develop awareness it is prohibited to get rid of an unborn.

@@elimanning6231 Ok zoomer
Me either. Too arachnid-like.
On the topic of whether they feel pain, while I can’t be sure about Lobsters, there is considerable evidence that crabs do. Tests using electrical jolts show that crabs will flee from, and avoid, caves where they know they will get a nasty zap. Crabs have also been observed nursing injured legs, spending more time grooming their injured limb than the other, and actively avoiding putting weight on them.
Yeah! That's the type of comments I want to see everywhere. There are tons of people agreeing under every film, but rarely anyone post such cool comment discussing with a video and saying something cool. I love funfacts so thanks! I find this one it very cool.
I was looking for this comparison, I've also read about these experiments with crabs. Lobsters and crabs as very similar so if crabs feels pain so must lobsters.. Maybe he could replicate this experiment with Leon and document it to help millions of other lobsters that are being boiled alive..

If you click on the video to know if lobsters feel pain, the quick answer provided here is we don't know
Mohammed Aradi
Why not?
Do they have pain receptors or not?
bananian its not clear
bananian "pain receptors" are just nerves under to much pressure, they are the same thing, but our brains processes the information differently depending on the force used, this way, an animal can feel but can't be hurt (like spiders), but since a lobster's nerves are under an exoskeleton and are coated outside the meat, as opposed to within, it's likely that they don't feel pain, but we just don't know.
Lol Nao
I think It's specific receptors. Therr people who can't feel pain but can still feel hot and cold.
Lol Nao pain receptors are refferred to as nociceptors and they recept pain stimuli not just pressure

Lobsters can feel pain, the myth where lobsters can’t feel pain is just to make the person who cooks it less bad but in fact they are more sensitive to heat than us so they feel more pain than if we were cooked alive
Its actually debated in neuroscience. The involved neurologists aren't stupid.
Being sensitive and feeling pain are two different things. Did you ever have your reflex pull you away from something before you actually felt why? Thats because you can be sensitive to something and act accordingly, without an actual feeling being involved.
Nobody knows weither lobsters feel pain. The only thing we know is that there are people who are delusional enough in their lack of knowledge that they believe otherwise.
Wrong. They have a primitive system to detect something wrong, not feel pain like human does. They do not posses this brain function.
@@AliothAncalagonwhatever helps you sleep at night
@@Will777-x5l If lobsters manage to prevent you from sleeping at night, you should put them back in the tank, before going to sleep.
@@AliothAncalagon I feel pretty confidant in stating that lobsters do not feel pain - I can go into the neuroscience debate if you want, and why I think one side is ridiculously and obviously off the mark, but the short version is that pain is a relatively complex neurological function, the actual mechanics of which we understand pretty damn well. Animals such as lobsters lack the neurological framework to feel pain, meaning it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for them to do so, at least using any meaningful definition of the word 'pain'.
None of which is to say they aren't still suffering in some way from being boiled alive, though. I don't imagine that's a pleasant experience just by having a body that evolved without a pain response.
Just kill right before boiling like Gordon Ramsay demonstrated in his How to cook lobster video seems like the best option

Nolan Chojnacki you missed the joke
superclaw900. Oh crap my bad
A marine biologist was on one of my cooking shows, and he said that if you're worried about the lobster experiencing pain, you should put them in the freezer for about a half hour before boiling them. They go into something like a hibernation when they're in a very cold place.
It nums there pain
I don't know if freezing them to death is so much better
stvia They go in a hibernation process, don't you know what hibernating means? It means they sleep for a long time, SLEEP, in otherwords they wont even know when or how they get killed
The actual chef answer is don't do this because that affects the quality of their meat.
Really, there is a very specific way to cut them which instantly kills them before they 'can feel pain' due to the way you cut them and the location not having nerve endings.
Griffin Tarampi Cutting them in half vertically is probably the best way to go. That will probably kill most things quickly.
They absolutely feel pain, I worked in a seafood department for 36 years. Crustaceans deteriorate very quickly once dead. Cooking alive assures freshness. A way to avoid the horrifying boiling alive aspect is to drive a knife point down between the head and the tail, or even better, put them in the freezer a few hours to stun them. Lobsters can live outside of water a few days if kept damp and very cold
They do not, and you have zero facts and evidence proving that their whole nervous system only detects something wrong but they don't actually feels sensory pain like humans do. They do not posses this portion of the brain responsible for this.
This sounds better.
I just kill it right before boiling. Seems more humane.
Peter Liotta yeah so does Gordon
lmao i like your profile pic
Don't kill it ! Leave it alone and go vegan ! That's something more than humane

lmao these comments got me rolling
I am working as a waiter at a Seafood restaurant as a part time job, the cooks literally keep at least 5 lobsters in tiny boxes for days stored in fridges before then being cooked alive, it is disturbing and absolutely disgusting. This is the "behind the scenes“ experience of "fine" dining.
That's to keep them in a dorment stage. Basically like putting someone into a coma. They don't feel cold like we do. What ends up happening is there entire nervous system detects the temperature shift and goes into autopilot survival mode. Sorta like hibernation. It's probably the most humane way to dispatch a lobster if you stab it in the head before cooking and not boiling alive.
So they aren’t fresh .

@@kaijuslayer3334 how is most food not eaten if not out of pleasure. Do you like eating lobster? Then it is out of pleasure. Eating lobster in the western world has nothing to do with survival. It only has to do with pleasure. The nutrients can be easily obtained without boiling a creature alive or eating a creature at all🤷🏻♀️
@@luchan1638 the same could be said about any food, I enjoy eating beef and chicken, does that mean I only do it for pleasure? No I do it because the human body requires the protein the meat provides, That I like it is just a bonus. Besides, If you live on the coast, lobster could be a part of your everyday diet. That being said, there isn't any reason not to kill the lobster before you put it in the pot.
@@sleven1160 that's my point :b. Animal products do not hold a Monopol on any nutrients or vitamines. You can easily find them somewhere else. Unless of course you have to eat lobster or any other animal product to survive because you don't have access to many other food sources.

When I was a kid, my mom used to put them in the freezer for 15 minutes before putting them in the pot.
She said it put them to sleep and they didn't feel a thing, when I asked. I remember coming home frozen stiff when I was playing outside in -25C, and hot water felt like fire... So I always figured she was making it up.
Mom lied lol
Putting crustaceans in the freezer effectively acts as a sedative. They are cold blooded animals, so the effectively are unconcious when at freezing temperatures. Its nothing like mamals (humans) coming in from cold weather and hot water warming your skin. Your mom want lying.

ElixR イーサン #savethelobesters 😭😭
Actually it's very hard to kill a lobster, and stabbing it in the head is pointless. Lobsters and other invertebrates do not have a single brain, but several small things called ganglia. These are about the size of the ball in a ball point pen. An expert in lobster anatomy would be lucky to hit them. In switzerland they use specialist equipment to electrocute the lobster to death before cooking.
Stabbing it in the head just causes more suffering.
whyyousobudu just because it has more than one brain does not mean it isn’t dead once you stab it in the head

I'm gonna to red to red lobster despite never eating a lobster...ill do it just to spite you.
With claws that big ; no doubt.
If someone thinks that lobster dont feel pain if they are boiled alive , those people should try to boil themselves to check
I’ve always refused to eat them for this reason. Personally, I believe they do feel pain. Like all living creatures, the biological function of pain is to warn something is wrong. If pain wasn’t such a thing, animals would get harmed easily and die without even realising what is going on.
Then... go on, lobsters don’t rot in minutes. There is no need to put a completely conscious one in a pot...! They could be stunned or made unconscious, or their nervous system could be somehow damaged so they don’t feel anything, and only then boiled.
Exactly like slaughterhouse animals, the law doesn’t allow them to be bled to death before they are unconscious (shot in the head or electro stunned).
We should be more respectful to creatures bred or caught to be our food... and avoid unnecessary suffering.
Either way, the Lobster dies before cooking. You can spare it boiling to death by cutting it in half through its head or just boil the whole thing whole.
A lot of fishermen put their fish/lobsters/other sealife on ice before cooking. It helps them fall into a deep sleep that makes it impossible for them to even know what's going on. A quick and painless way to prep.
I agree, thats the best way to do it. Freeze them so that they're unconscious then boil them alive. Saves you from getting ill if you cook it that way, or you can just cut through the head.
I rather boil them makes it taste better
funny how u make this moral decision based on the fact that they are boiled alive but are completely fine with the fact that they are killed so u can have the pleasure of taste
I don't know if Australia actually has laws around boiling them alive, but I do know that killing them first, BEFORE boiling them is standard restaurant practice. They do this by cutting them in two right down the centre in one quick motion and then throwing them into a boiling pot. This is pretty much standard practice around Australia and the islands and is said to be the most humane way of dispatching them.

There is a reason humans are at the absolute top of the food chain. We can and we will eat what we want. As long as it doesn't endanger the species in terms of it going extinct, then i say fair game.

Roberta Trevino they die either way lol doesn't matter how we do it tbh.
If someone gave me the option of dying quickly with a knife to the head or to be boiled alive, I'd choose the former. I guess they can boil you since you don't care.
The point is, Roberta, is that nobody knows if they feel pain. You could treat them as they do (as stated by that British man in the video) but I mean, who knows if they don't feel pain when we chop their head in half?
Maybe we can feel a slight pain before death, but do they as well? And I was told that they die almost instantly at high heat anyway... IMO It's the same, just an easier and less gruesome way.
As the video and you state, we don't know. So why not just kill them fast instead of wondering if they feel pain as we boil them alive?

But is it cruel to boil vegans alive?
Tony Fisher naahhhh it isn't cruel nobody likes vegan also boiling them alive is very tasty though
Tony Fisher maybe?
Tony Fisher nah.
Yes it is because their humans.
Tony Fisher have you try using bit spice on them yet?
The vibrio bacteria is found on the flesh of decaying shellfish. then why do we only boil lobsters alive but not shrimp and other shellfish?
You can end it before chucking it in if you want.
Also mussels and other clam types are boiled alive
Why not kill the lobster humanely right before boiling it is the real question
It isn't as fun that way.
+ziljin Did You See The Other Reasons?
X O do you think lobsters care about the suffering of the other animals that they pinch chunks off of to eat?
Its actually not necessary. Ive seen many lobsters cooked and eaten after being killed "humanely" in videos. the bacteria doesn't reproduce THAT quickly.
Many chefs actually kill the lobster right before cooking. Only lazy chefs don't bother, and I wouldn't want to eat a lazy chef's food.
C North I dont think you can even call that being lazy. How hard is it to stab it quickly trough the skull? I can only atribute this behaviour to being mentally deranged
Slime watch gordon ramsay’s video on how to cook a lobster, he kills it in one second and prepares the lobster itself in about 2 minutes (im not sure if the video is shortened to be 2 minutes)
C North e
Shut up
The end result is the same. You dont really care. Stop lying to yourself.
People: Why, why did you send us to Hell, Father?! We did nothing wrong!
God: Umh... Remember those lobsters?
People: Oh...
Accept Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour. That is the first step towards going to heaven
lol but yeah it’s true, you can’t go to heaven if you was cruel to the living beings while on earth
Jesus was a philosopher, like all other religions are made up to make humans be better and do good things. No single religion is bad if they ask you to do good.
@@moseslalmuanpuia8988 ..then lobsters ?
@@moseslalmuanpuia8988 No, where ever i end up is where i end up. theres no proof of anything beyond death. so anything could happen. i could float in space for eternity for all i know.
You could just kill the lobster just before you drop him in a frickin boiling tank of water
It has bacteria if u boil it after killing larry
@@josezaragoza3188 no, pickle said that you cook it immediately after you kill it
Some people has a weird logic, just think how bacteria grows plis, how can they grow so much that it can harm you after 0.00000001 nano second
@@fadhlissyafiqab4078 just gotta have quick hands
@@fadhlissyafiqab4078 so all the chefs that stab it before killing it are dumb ok
Do you kill every crawfish before cooking? Why should lobster be any different
This is why Chefs in Europe kill the lobster before boiling it.
Boiling them alive is unethical.
And creepy.
You go ahead and eat it dead before cooking, I'll send you a "get well" card when you're in the hospital. 😂
@Oritra Kar They kill the lobster right before boiling it.
How are the few seconds of it beeing dead gonna cause you diarrhea?
Eating animals overall is sick and disgusting
@@oneel3859 I mean almost every animal does it.
But why don't you kill it right before boiling it
like wtf is wrong with doing that
you can cut slide a knife through its head, and the put it straight into the pan
*mindblown*
Sunny shah thank you
Chris no, thank you
Oh I see what you did there...
Who gives a shit
Str8UpSavage762 the thousand lobsters painly killed
No one really knows if lobsters feel pain
Lobster: Am I a joke to you
Imagine if aliens that ate us were having this same conversation.
"No one knows if that thrashing they do means they actually *feel* pain or if it's just a reflex response."
@@AJ_Deadshow although we make noises
Ikr just ask them!
Lobster: Am I a robot to u? 😹
Boiling water: yes... yes you are
“No that just air escaping, they can’t feel anything”
“STOP IT! YOU’RE HURTING HIM!”
Guys, there is a real simple solution to the "why not kill it before boiling it" and the "we shouldn't boil it alive" debate.... Just take a thin knife and stab right through their nervous system. It keeps them from feeling anything, and they don't run the risk of getting food poisoning. There is a TH-cam chef who uses this technique on almost all shellfish he cooks except for shrimp.
good luck doing that to 750 crawfish before they go bad
Joshua Sanford I know what you're saying, and I'm not one of those animal activists that thinks we should all eat veggies. I'm merely trying to give a solution to the lobster issue that can be used so that people who believe the lobsters have complex feelings and shit can cook a lobster without it "feeling" the pain. Hope that clears up what I meant, I personally like my lobster grilled or steamed with either garlic or lemon.
I get want youre saying. i was just stating how that might not be practical in all situations.
Joshua Sanford actually some small restaurant do kill em before boiling but I am not sure about the big one.....but they do sell dead lobster in the market on the freezer
+joseph smith Actually, that't not necessarily the case. Lobsters are very different than a pig or a chicken. There's a rudimentary brain in the head but it's got this kind of distributed nervous system with a parallel spinal cord, bridged connections between the two and ganglia all the way down. In other words most of it's brain is actually located in different places along the back. This is why we don't know if they truly can feel pain in the same way we can. Their nervous system is too primitive.
So cutting through the head does not necessarily guarantee a clean death.
So why not just kill the lobster immediately before cooking it? That's a practice that many places do follow. If you notice in some of the footage the lobster head has been split down the middle. Though it may move a bit afterwards, that is a dead lobster
Cory M you can do that, but it's not really any better than just boiling it right away
Serenity Scratch its a far faster way to kill a lobster. They might not survive "long" in boiling water, but there's no need to cause anything more than the minimal amount of suffering. Boiling alive is definitely not the fastest practical way to end the lobsters life.
Serenity Scratch Serenity Scratch Ofcourse it is. Why would you let an animal have so much pain while you can also end it quickly?
Bacteria can multiple faster then you thing...
Firman N yeah... Not that fast. I have a doctorate in pharmacy. The time between cutting lobster and throwing it in a pot shouldn't be long in any reputable kitchen.
2:21 "What you do hear is air and steam escaping from their shells" reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Hans Moleman was trying to tell Dr Hibbet he's not dead yeat, and Dr Hibbet told Marge "don't mind him, thats just air escaping"
The possibility of food poisoning supersedes the rare chance lobsters have anything resembling a pain system.
