When we think of a lobster, we think of a hard shell. It is rare that we consider what is under the shell, and how it may feel for the animal to be boiled alive.
The lobster, in other words behave very much a you or I would behave if we were plunged into boiling water (with the obvious exception of screaming).
How do we decipher whether or not it is morally acceptable to boil an animal alive? Lobsters do not have the ability to show emotion or pain. When we think about a scenario where we human beings could be boiled alive, we have a very different take on the "cooking process."
