Dutch Parliament majority wants to ban boiling of live crabs and lobsters

NL Times  

Members of the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of Dutch parliament, have renewed calls for a ban on boiling lobsters and crabs alive, describing the practice as unnecessarily cruel. The practice of boiling lobsters and crabs alive is still common in many Dutch restaurants, driven by the belief that the fresher the preparation, the better the taste. Several countries, including Switzerland and New Zealand, have already banned boiling lobsters and crabs alive. “Lobsters are invertebrates, and people often assume they can’t feel pain because their nervous systems work differently from those of vertebrates,” Flik told RTL Nieuws in a 2021 interview.
