I really value health and wouldn't mind spending a lot of money on it, especially when it comes to food. I'm a health nut but I'm not trying to be vegan, but reading Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace makes me somewhat curious. Suppose the animal feels pain and suffers like the human being? Boiling the lobster to be precise, when you are about to cook them, do they suffer in any way, do they feel pain or do they feel these emotions? because they struggle a lot in the pot during cooking and make unnecessary noises. Based on this research, it is proven that animals experience emotions. The most important thing in Mr. Wallace's article is his concern about the suffering of the lobster, the facts of which he briefly explains. His article features the Maine Lobster Festival in Maine, where the festival will cook 25,000. pound of lobsters, the world's largest lobster oven as they call it, the lobster will be cooked in a gruesome way, which worries him. Mr. Wallace described the lobster boiling as being really difficult for him to watch. An example is that in his article he said that "Lobsters appear to suffer while hanging their claws in the pot." But this explains why lobsters' violent reaction to boiling water is a reflex to noxious stimuli. And to add, based on an analysis published by the Scottish animal welfare group Advocate for Animals, scientific evidence strongly suggests that there is a possibility that lobsters experience pain and suffering. This is primarily because lobsters and other decapod crustaceans have opioid receptors and respond to opioid analgesics such as morphine similarly to vertebrates, indicating that lobsters' reaction to injury changes when painkillers are applied. The similarities...... half of the document ......this research I love animals more than ever and I don't care whether science or people believe they have emotions or not.
