Cool. About time someone took a stand.
Actualy, a lot of the asian food markets "live" sections need to be looked into for such "inhumaine" practices. I really dislike how some "food animals" are treated. It is amazing how people can have a double standard when it comes to Dogs and cats and all things called "pets" but when it comes to others, they turn cheek.

Dave, I think that's exactly the point. People classify some "animals" as pets and some as food. This creates a huge mindset as to how each is treated. Most people don't mind running out to KFC to pickup dinner, but those genetically raised chicken live in a tiny cage, in their own waste, with no beaks. Now I would consider that cruel and inhumane, but since they are classified as food it happens all over the country.

Interesting debate: do we stop eating the lobsters but still step on the ants?
Last I remember from my undergrad biology tests, these animals don't know the difference between being stepped on or being placed in a hot tub! I am sure I am partial toward the continued consuption of lobsters since they taste sooo goood! But, objectively speaking: have you seen chicken in their chicken coops or little baby pigs ( veal in other words ) in their pens? Makes one wonder if it's better for the lobster to be put out of his misery in lieu of being pinned in a 1x1 chicken coop ( dimensions purely fictional).
We have to eat, and beyond popular believe, our 'engines' ork best with a mix of all foods, including animal based protein ( which is not easily substituted by bean protein).
David, I'll join you in that Lobster dinner!

Sounds like they are living a double standard. 
They won't sell them live because they feel pain when cooked but will sell them cooked.
If they keep up the attitude they have, they won't be in bussiness long. But then they will blame their failure on something else and sue to recoup their loss..

sounds like a lobster bake in the making....lots of butter too....I wouldn't want my cholesterol to get near healthy levels.....lol....on a more serious note....the stores mentioned are trying to please some group by showing fake concern for food animals....just another case of pandering to the politically correct crowd....I do agree there are many horrendous cases of abuse in the food supply industry...especially in the "genetically grown"
areas....especially in the US....but the same people that are protesting are also eating.....it's like a man I met years ago that had a license plate that was "Anti-Fur".....but he was wearing a leather jacket,belt and shoes.....I guess as long as it didn't have any fur left on the skin it was ok.....oh well...now...where is that lobster.....

Good points!
However, this is all worrying me a bit. Tomorrow or the next day I will have to go out and mowe the lawn. So, I am thinking, do I have to lethally anesthatize the grass first before decapitating the leaves, or can I go ahead and mass murder the green Living Units?
Political correctness, it will be the parallel to Rome's Olympics: Our downfall!!

hehehe....off with the blades of grass heads!
Just play some "CLASSICAL music". Plants seem to like it more than Metal.
ONE OF MY FAVE RECIPEES:
A delicious lobster bisque recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
1 to 2 cups cooked lobster meat, about 1 small lobster
1/3 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon steak sauce
salt and pepper to taste
seasoned salt to taste
1 table spoon and a pinch of 2 SPECIAL INGREEDIENTS ONLY I KNOW
PREPARATION:
Bash the Lobster with a hammer or back side of a heavy blunt object. Place semi dizzy p i s s e d off bug in a scalding pot of steam and water. Coverquickly or else the high pitched screams are not as good as it dies from it's insides imploding within it's exoskeleton. Once it turl all toasty and red, remove from water, and cool it in a nice bath of balsalmic vinegar and water with lemons to ease the pain away. Once it is cold and shivering, bash it again with said afore mentioned heavy blunt oblect. B a s h it a lot. and when you are done bashing it into itsy bitsy little cracked shell pieces, pick out the meatty goodness from the tail, legs and claws. In a small bowl, combine lobster and sherry; set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Blend in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring until mixture is thickened; stir in steak sauce and salt, pepper, and seasoned salt to taste. Add lobster and sherry; cover and simmer lobster bisque for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Makes 4 cups of lobster bisquey goodness. :bum:

Speaking of "lethally anesthatize " and "mass murder" Anyone read the article in the Metroland of the Canadian Geese in Scotia town park?
How during molting this season they will gather them up while they are defenseless and unable to fly or escape and gas them! How parks and recreation can go along with that is beyond me. They were introduced to the area, domesticating them and screwing up their migration patterns. So now they must die. Arrrr thats wrong. :hammer:

I intend to be dinner for worms or something one day, unless my wife lights me on fire or something; and I expect I'm evolved to eat some critters too. I'm all for any attempts to minimize suffering though, particularly among livestock and chicken. I'm not sure exactly if lobsters have the capacity to suffer in the way we understand it.
