Pity the Poor Lobster
by AmandaLyn on Sat Mar 28, 2009 11:07 am
LOBSTERS HAVE FEELINGS TOO 
snip** Ripping the legs off live crabs and crowding lobsters into seafood market tanks are just two of the many practices that may warrant reassessment, given two new studies that indicate crustaceans feel pain and stress.
The findings add to a growing body of evidence that virtually all animals, including fish, shellfish and insects, can suffer.
Robert Elwood, the lead author of both papers, explained to Discovery News that pain allows an individual to be "aware of the potential tissue damage" while experiencing "a huge negative emotion or motivation that it learns to avoid that situation in the future."
i guess we should take better care of ours???
snip* And finally, the researchers wrote, crustaceans possess "high cognitive ability and sentience."
**makes note to quit picking on Dave**
