Professionelle Biologen neigen dazu, gefühlsbetonten Tierschützern den Spaß zu verderben:
According to Jennifer Basil, associate professor of Biology at City University of New York, Brooklyn College, [the best and most humane way of dispatching lobsters is] boiling. That's because lobsters, like most invertebrates, don't have the same kind of brain we do. Instead of having one, big central mass of neurons—i.e., the brain—lobsters spread their thinking around their bodies in several smaller masses, called ganglia.
Every segment has its own little brain doing its own thing,says Basil. Which is why, she says, it's better to boil the lobster and kill all those mini-brains at once.Cutting it up just creates two uncomfortable lobsters.
Man könnte natürlich darüber diskutieren, welchen Zeitraum at once
