Why do people have no problem boiling lobsters alive

Lobsters are in the same family as cockroaches, so , I wit that being it just makes me a little indifferent to them. Gosh, a little cold-hearted, but I don't think you'd ever have a problem with killing a roach? Would you?

That's just the world we live in.. I am the same way.. I LOVE meat, however, I could not bring myself to ever set foot in a slaughterhouse... I could also never go hunting unless I absolutely needed to for survival of course.

They are too worried that they will starve if they took the extra time to kill it first. Fatties don't care how their food is killed/cooked. As long as they get to refill their fat bellies, why would they worry?

Because Humans are just a bunch of selfish sociopaths that are completely incapable of empathy.

because they taste awesome

thats some good meat lemon and
with butter oh yea

We can because we aren't sissies.

It's an interesting point you're trying to make. Unfortunately, biologically speaking we know it's not correct, and there is a culinary reason we dispatch lobsters that way.

First, from a biological perspective there is a distinct difference between the way humans experience pain, the way other vertebrates experience pain, and the way insects, annelids, and what not experience pain. Yes, bugs can feel pain, too. They do not, however, feel it as acutely as we do because they do not have the nervous system for it. I'm sorry, but they just don't. Arthropods have about what's necessary to keep an animal running, and little more than that.

Second, what little brain they do have is located right up front, just under the shell, right by their eyes. It flash cooks almost instantly when you drop them in water. Odds are if you drop them in properly, head first, they're dead by the time their tails hit the water. It's about as quick for them as a large caliber bullet fired up through our skulls is for us. They don't have any time to register the pain, because by the time the nerves transmit the impulses, the brain they're transmitting to is already cooked.
