A Norwegian study concluded that lobsters, along with many other crustaceans, don't have an advanced enough nervous system to feel pain. They say it's okay to go ahead and toss them into boiling water, which made PETA's Karin Robertson pretty upset.
"This is exactly like the tobacco industry claiming that smoking doesn't cause cancer," she said.I think I'll have seafood for dinner tonight.
Hmm.. that's a shame. I actually used to relish the thought of the little bastard boiling alive. Now it's just not as much fun.
