There's a more humane way to cook lobster — and in Switzerland, it's now the law.

The Switzerland's government has barred the culinary practice of throwing lobsters into boiling hot water while they are alive, The Guardian reported. The government said the crustaceans must be “stunned” before being boiled.

“The practice of plunging live lobsters into boiling water, which is common in restaurants, is no longer permitted,” the government order stated. “Lobsters will now have to be stunned before they are put to death.”

The government explained the crustaceans can be “stunned” by electrically shocking the sea creature, or by the “mechanical destruction” of the crustacean’s brain.

Animal rights activists and scientists have claimed lobsters could feel “significant pain” when they are thrown alive into boiling water.

The government also ordered the live crustaceans to be transported in their natural habitat and not on ice or icy water.

The Swiss have also cracked down on illegal puppy farms and devices that discipline dogs when they bark, Reuters reported.

The order will go into effect on March 1.

Film at 11.... 😟

Ram has a bat.

If that doesn't work, Jones has a putter.

either of those might be stunning.

Frank can just show the lobster how that third trail in the sand happened.
That'll stun them.

🤣

no, tail is correct

I just had a 2.5-pounder for new year's eve.

you had frank's third trail?

I think I'll design a lobster stun gun... I'll be rich as soon they make this mandatory world wide.... Gotta figure out how many volts are needed to stun a lobster tho... 🤔

doubt if it'll replace the small hammer which goes for about a buck at Harbor Freight or at the Dollar store...

I prefer to pepper-spray the little bassards...if I really wanna show 'em who's boss, I get out the baton and whack em around a bit first....but to each their own.

You want to stun them, show them the law. It will stun them how stupid some governments are...

show 'em the Thonginator

Damn rookies... you don't cook lobster in boiling water. You steam them.

Idiots.

soooo true. once out of the water they never go back in
but still leaves the "stun" issue unresolved.

Hope you at least Marandize the little bass turds 1st.#-o

I'm not sure whacking the little bassards with a hammer is politically correct... 😟
