Switzerland Bans Boiling Lobsters

Not even Switzerland has managed to stand apart from the rising tide of moonbattery:

A law goes into effect March 1 that bans the common cooking method of tossing a live lobster into a big pot of boiling water, quickly killing the tasty crustacean. That practice is being outlawed because the Swiss say it’s cruel and lobsters can sense pain.

Among the better informed, even moonbats doubt that lobsters can feel pain. Despite having much larger bodies, they have brains the size of a grasshopper’s (I mean lobsters do; moonbat brains might be smaller).

But this isn’t about sea cockroaches, the consumption of which is negligible in landlocked Switzerland. This is about moonbats reminding us that they make most of the rules, and that they will always side with the Other against you, even if the Other is barely more sentient than a plant.

Lobsters also must be transported in seawater rather than on ice.

Violators of the insane law could get 3 years in prison. Other provisions include:

[C]ats must have a daily visual contact with other felines, and hamsters or guinea pigs must be kept in pairs. And anyone who flushes a pet goldfish down the toilet is breaking the law.

Also, it will be illegal to punish a dog for barking. Seriously. But as far as I know, housetraining dogs is still legal for now.
