UK Bans Boiling Lobsters Alive

UK Bans Boiling Lobsters Alive

The UK government is banning the practice of boiling live lobsters because it causes them pain.

Instead, they want people to use more humane methods like electrical stunning or chilling the lobsters in cold air or ice before cooking.

This is part of a bigger plan to improve animal welfare, which also includes banning things like hen cages, pig farrowing crates, and certain types of hunting.

Some people, like Nigel Farage, disagree with these changes and think they are too controlling.

But many people support these new rules because they care about animal welfare.
