[ARCHIVED THREAD] - In a world first, Switzerland deems it illegal to boil a lobster

I am truly at a loss for words.

I would probably go to jail, as I only have 1 cat at the moment, so he can't have daily visual contact with other felines. I am a monster.

They most likely don't even feel pain. Lame law but they do make great rifles.

Not a world first.

Hermann Göring banned the practice of boiling lobsters and crabs in Prussia in 1933.

I honestly thought that surely everyone knows that the Nazis were huge animal welfare proponents and that they had outlawed lobster boiling.

hamsters or guinea pigs must be kept in pairs

Hamsters are solitary critters. They like to live alone. Keep them in pairs and they fight.

But I understand. We have politicians who know nothing about guns writing our gun laws. Same approach, different crime.

I prefer to buy live Lobsters and have them steamed. Or put it on a grill. I don't care.

The only difference between what's outlined in that article and the Nazis in '33 is that you don't get sent to a concentration camp while you wait for your sentencing to three years of prison for boiling a damn lobster.

That whole article just gives me the creeps.

Cats must have visual contact with other cats at least once a day?

I'm pretty sure our first pet cat was a little happier being the only cat of the house....

Rodents must be kept in pairs? What if I have two pet mice and one dies? Just toss another one in there so they can fight to the death because they didn't grow up together?

This law is fucking retarded and written by people that don't know shit about animals.

In an effort to demonstrate my displeasure, there will be no more Swiss Miss Instant Cocoa purchased by me.

We throw entire sacks full of mini lobsters into boiling water and eat them. Hundreds at a time. They're good too.

This is equivalent to making it illegal to stomp on cockroaches.

Steaming is better anyway.

That I believe, would be you attempting to reference Sweden? Close, it's on the same continent and starts with an S and they both have people living in them

I know for a fact that the Swiss do indeed feel pain.

And lobsters make REALLY shitty rifles.

Puncturing the head releases more juice.

I grew up boiling them alive. Will continue to do so.

These go beyond "first world problems" and enter a realm where people's lives are so comfortable and insulated from any kind of struggle or hardship that they have time to actually pass laws about being kind to food.

I like that we have advanced far enough to have all of our basic needs met and can afford to spend our time thinking. I don't like that this means some people's idle minds will come up with this kind of idiotic bullshit.
