Lobsters feel pain

[Joy]

I was listening to the news two days ago and I heard the surprise comment that Lobsters and possibly other invertebrates feel pain. The surprise for me that this wasn't considered as bloody obvious in the first place.

Switzerland has banned the practice of boiling lobsters to kill and cook them because of this latest research http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-42647341.

I find this shocking that the human species would not consider any other living thing to feel pain, because they don't exhibit signs of pain that humans recognise!!!:doh what is wrong with our species?

Just recently I find the human species shocking full stop!

Although, I think there is a small tide turning and people are awakening to the idea that humans have destroyed the planet with our rubbish. We are a selfish species and not recognising another living thing as having pain reaffirms my beliefs.
