This, this this. I AM from Maine, and this is how you do it - just hit the ridge and pierce with a sharp knife. I have ZERO idea what that person was thinking. If anything, you pierce and pull the knife forward, not back toward the body.

I take leaving them in the ocean to die of old age isn’t an option.

What about Lobster Lethal injection 2 - Staring Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and Joe Pesci -

I actually jumped at the whole green-zombie-brain-exploding thing.

“the crustacean is killed instantly.”

Just look at the flowers, Lizzie.

That’s so unnecessary. There’s no reason to cut through the whole thorax into the guts. The brain is right behind the eyes.

Not bad, but there are cheaper ways to drink melted butter.

Humane? perhaps. Still not a good idea.

I’m beginning to see why people become Vegans.

As I understand it, “they” are not sure if lobsters ever die of old age.

Upon further review of the article, I’m also now confused by the “sedating the lobster by dipping it into saltwater” line—don’t lobsters live in salt water?

I take them out back with a shotgun like Old Yeller.

The linked article is so pun-filled I could barely finish it, but the part about felines having to see another cat at least once a day seemed strange. Are you not allowed to own just one cat in Switzerland?

Wow. That was a bit more gruesome than I was thinking it was going to be.

I like to take the lobsters to a quiet and serene place and tell them about the farm we will have together and the rabbits they will get to pet and then when they are in the happy place I dispatch them

yes and yes. Its a web application but also has IOS and android apps
