Now you have done it. (Lobster Continuation)

[funman1]

Well it's sort of a continuation of the lobster thread a few weeks ago.

http://www.secretlifeoflobsters.com/blog/2006/06/how-to-kill-lobster-redux.asp

Is this humane?

 

[Nu2SW]

would you rather be boiled alive and die a slow death or zapped by electricity and get it over done quickly?


Does it matter if it is humane?

Animals were put here to serve us for two reasons.

#1 Food

#2 workforce

And now a days
#3 Pets


We still need them, its no different from now or 1000 years ago.



Nowadays people have gotten to soft, like peta and such. Back in roman times or even a 1000 years ago. No one thought, oh its cruel to eat cows. It was life!


My 2cents

Back in Roman times, it was entertaining to see people kill each other for fun. :eek1: Let the slaughter begin...

One has to wonder what flatworms are here for then. Or mantis shrimp. Or majanos. Or acro bugs. Or Aiptasia. They sure as hell don't taste good, and I put more work in than they give back.

They serve other animals as food for them. Thats what they are here for.

Everything is on this world for a reason to serve as food or help....

Or as minh pointed out... Our primal entertainment. LOL sorry had to do it :eek1:

Hey don't get me wrong I'm no tree hugger.
But they zap it to stun it and then shell it while it's still alive.

I think boiling is humane, it's over pretty fast

You really weren't kidding. They're all put here to benefit humans, eh? You a creationist?

There are a lot of inhumane things that go on. The way I see it, it is the responsibility of thinking people to put a stop to it. Standing by and just watching it happen is condoning it.

You don't have to hug the trees, but making sure thay still exist in the future would be a good thing.

I grasp that statement, but at the same time.I think as a race we over think things WAY too much. Especially people with nothing to do in life.

no I am not a creationist. I do not follow anything. Too me it makes perfect and common sense.

But as I said, Its just My opinion and people may think alike or dis-like it.

That all animals were "put" here for human's benefit? What do you suppose they were doing for the hundreds of millions of years before we showed up on the scene? Warming up the planet for us?

LOL. Its ok, for some (like you, I suppose from your reply) they believe animals were here long before man.

For others a divine being created the earth, plants,waters, animals and then man in 6 days. ( saving the best for last LOL :rollface: )

It just depends on what you believe or think.

The problem is that it's not just an opinion Edwin. The logical extension of that opinion is a rationale for destructive behavior.

After all, if animals are here solely for human benefit, what's the harm in dynamiting coral reefs for food fish, burning down the rainforest to raise cattle, or draining the Everglades and filling it up with track homes? Okay, granted, that's a bit of a stretch from killing lobsters but I hope you can see my point. I remember a bit in the Bible about man being here to preserve God's creation. I would hope that a belief in God would make someone feel more responsible for ensuring protection of animals, not less so.

Those are examples of overharvesting. Animals bnefit other animals through service or consumption. You need to maintain suitable habitat in order to keep a sustainable harvest. I think the two of you are reading way too much into this.

Yeah, you're probably right.
