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