PAINFUL ARGUMENT


Advocates for Animals wants crustaceans accorded their due rights -- no more dropping crabs and lobsters into boiling water, for example. Crab specialist Peter Fraser refuses to fall into line, however:
As for lobsters in boiling water, sensory nerves from crabs living in temperate waters fail irreversibly at 25 °C, about the temperature of tepid bath water. This procedure is not inhumane.
Any bets on which side is going to win this one?

Does this mean that seafood extender can now be charged with assuming a false identity?
