The meat goes bad? Maybe because they're a living thing that's not meant for us to be eating. Not to mention the endless cruelty behind this practice.

if you cook them alive then what about the frozen tails you buy at the store

@ZeeMorg Well I believe they are more intelligent than some humans to be honest ;)

@copznrobbas Well I'm glad to see that you derive your sense of morality from some of the finest philosophers the feline community has to offer.

[Ghos7Fiction]

these people know their facts unlike some other cheap knock off..(cough) expert village

[ZeeMorg]

Stick to tofu! Animals rights abuses should not be condoned simply for "keeping meat fresh".

lobsters, while are very sensitive to tempurature dont feel it when they are boiled. they just go to sleep.

@KornKrlz2 There are no commercials before the video. Maybe you should have taken the time to get an ad blocker.

@olstar18 The ones that appear before videos with over 10,000 views >_< its becoming like TV!

[olstar18]
