What's better than eating steamed lobster? Eating live lobster.
Vegetarians and vegans looked at their carnivorous brethren and told them that killing, cooking, and eating animals was cruel. Carnivores said, "Not as cruel as simply eating them!"

Called "Whole Live Lobster Sashimi," the dish involves bringing the lobster to the table, splitting it down the middle and eating it as it dies, a process that lasts about 20 minutes.

2. Because of us animal rights advocates and activists

and our outcry against this barbaric practice, this restaurant has now discontinued serving lobsters to be eaten alive. It is bad enough that they are boiled alive, but to be eaten alive is an outrage.

5. Yum!
It's no different than eating live ants, which most of us did as children.
