Move is part of a long-awaited Labour strategy including outlawing hen cages and ending puppy farming

Boiling lobsters while they are alive and conscious will be banned as part of a government strategy to improve animal welfare in England.

Government ministers say that “live boiling is not an acceptable killing method” for crustaceans and alternative guidance will be published.

The practice is already illegal in Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand. Animal welfare charities say that stunning lobsters with an electric gun or chilling them in cold air or ice before boiling them is more humane.

    they eat the legs. some folks will cut the head off and some folks will cut down by the torso. the frog will be grabbing at the scissors uselessly. if it bites, they will snip the mouth off. its very quick. grab a frog, snip snip, toss the frog into the pile, repeat. like harvesting a plant

    why don’t they all just cut at the head? i have no idea. i think the experience of the animal is simply not considered
