        My neighbors watched in horror one year when I grilled a lobster alive. They asked in terror : "Did you just put that lobster in the grill alive? I looked at them and said back: Ah yep! You buy them to kill them to eat them.

            I does not really bother me. I just think it is a shame how much unnecessary suffering there is.

            You could easily kill the lobster before putting it on the grill with a knife.

            Not sure how putting it on alive changes anything.

                I’m no raging vegan, I regularly enjoy meat of varying kinds, but dude, really?

                That honestly sounds like you’re inducing suffering for the sake of it, and gleefully so to boot.

                That really isn’t the flex you seem to think it is.

            I wonder if you would be like this if you’d get bit by this tick.
