"The fact that a lobster is food does not make it a more elevated being"

And I never said it did. I said the fact that it has an observable and measurable pain response makes it a more elevated being.

Lobsters are sentient, the science has proven it. They might be on the lower end but they have also been shown to demonstrate a limited form of memory and intelligence when it comes to things like pain, avoiding objects that are known to cause it.

I get not caring, but mate, you sound like an absolute psychopath who takes delight in killing them.

You are missing the point dude. Boiling alive is slow torture, they are not sa....

Fuck it good luck with your reading comprehension skills

I also don't waffle about a shoe on a cockroach, in fact I try my best to kill them as fast as possible and in any case will choose a shoe to spray, which takes longer. No point in making anyone or anything squirm in agony over several minutes unless I have a personal vendetta against them.

No, you smash that repugnant shit

Sounds like a very quick way to kill it.

I feel the need to point out that the person you're arguing with is not saying you shouldn't kill lobsters.
