Switzerland bans boiling live lobsters

What does it matter? By the time lobsters arrive in Switzerland they’re not worth eating anyway!

This is how you stun a lobster.

I have no pony in this race since i am vegetarian and personally cannot fathom any way of dispatching a lobster myself. (But i get it that people love lobster, and honestly that doesn’t bother me unless i’m across from you at dinner)
But, umm… it seems hypocritical to be so worried about boiling vs stunning vs poking in the brain or whatever- end result is the lobster is dinner. How is it that there is such controversy over how they are killed and yet the option of…well, not killing it or eating it isn’t even mentioned? Somehow that actually sounds like the most humane solution.
