Newsflash: "Animal welfare issue boiling"

freezer, expecting the chill would anesthetize it. Yet, when he
later held it above a boiling pot of water, it was still alive

bring another live lobster into this house. It was one of the
most traumatic things I have done.' Stuart credits the lobster
with making him think more about how the food he eats is raised."
