Second: steer and lobsters? I've been to places where you pick out the poor red bastard (lobster) before you steam them to death and eat them. I've been to restaurants in Texas where you look out the window, pick out a Bessie, and they kill it and grill it for ya.
So, you know, whatever.

It’s done here. Go to the restaurant and choose your lobster. They then cook it live. I’m a lobster freak and eat it often because it’s cheap here. At about 16 I realized that it dies a horrible death. I went to a school in Buzzards Bay whose name I can’t remember and talked to them. They teach boating and water craft. According to them, lobsters have few nerves and feel little or no pain. Death is instant when they hit the boiling water.
I asked a million questions about seafood and pain. You can’t ask a fish if hooks hurt.
My grandfather had a meat market and fresh farm which is a few miles from me now. I saw cows being led to slaughter. I cried often but he explained that the cows get a shot that hurts a little and they go to sleep. Now I know that some steer are treated differently but I won’t go into that.
Look, as I’ve said, I get it. Some countries are raising people to do what they must to survive. Needles and medications cost money but funds raised for the ethical killing of animals are needed. A shot isn’t a thousand dollars but getting the meds to everyone and seeing it used on animals and not their neighbors is crucial. Having a veterinarian visit and rewards for the inoculation sounds great but doing it?
Grandiose ideas with no way to implement the them.
Things change in the world. Discussion like this helps ideas to grow. We can’t change it but it’s nice to dream
