Study done on lobsters

Animal activists for years have claimed that lobsters are in agony when being cooked, and that dropping one in a pot of boiling water is tantamount to torture.

A study funded by the Norwegian government and written by a scientist at the University of Oslo, suggests lobsters and other invertebrates such as crabs, snails and worms probably don't suffer even if lobsters do tend to thrash in boiling water. Researchers claim the trashing is due to an escape mechanism, not because of pain. Take that all you hippies! I can't wait to go eat some more lobster.

Peter: On Sundays we like to catch the earlybird special at the lobster shanty. There's good food plus it's a shanty.
Chris: Plus you get to pick your own lobsters.
Stewie: Yes. That one looks like he's got some life in him. take off the rubber bands. I'm going in.
