Seafood transformation factories can be of the most disgusting of all factories. The killing and torture of the American Lobster is most disheartening and discouraging. Because of animal rights personnel, who think boiling a lobster alive is cruel, governments have made it law that the animals must be killed before they are cooked.
To kill these animals, a plate is shoved up, inside the external skeleton. The claws and arms are then ripped off the body, as well as the tail. The body of the lobster remains alive for several hours sometimes, until it is put through the saw that cuts the eight small legs off. The bodies are then considered dead and are sent to the boilers. Their antenna are still moving around feeling for some way to get out. The rest of the respective parts go to the boilers also.
In a similar fashion, crab and welk are prepared for the transformation. If ecologists could only see what harm they are doing to these animals, they would never have advocated to stop the killing by boiling. At least by boiling, the animals are dead in relatively no time at all.
