Show BOILING LOBSTERS ALIVE. X Cruelty Worthy of the Dark Ages that Is Still Practiced by Gourmands. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It is singular how the cruel practice of boiling lobsters alive continurcs. Our forefathers fore-fathers and, indeed, our pareuts the calves bleed slowly to death on the theory that in no other way could 'white meat be secured and later on calves were bled one and killed tha next. Now every one knows that a calf can be killed in a humane manner, and the veal made just as good. Hoes are largely killed by electricity instead of by the old barbarous method, and, generally speak-in?, speak-in?, animals killed for food have been put out of the way in a much more humane manner man-ner than formerly. But lobsters are still tortured out of exist-nce, exist-nce, the only difference being that, while formerly they were exclusively boiled to death, now some are boiled aud some are I broiled, which process causes the most 1 agony no one can say. |
