Shellfish Feel Pain, Studies Suggest
Shellfish Feel Pain, Studies Suggest

Shellfish, such as crabs, lobsters and shrimp, feel pain, suggests a new study that calls into question how food and aquaculture industries treat these animals.

Researchers have suspected for some time that live lobsters dunked into boiling water and rubber-banded crustaceans stored in crowded fish market tanks experience tremendous pain. We reported on that some years back. But it’s always a challenge for scientists to prove conclusively that a non-human is feeling pain.


“On a philosophical point, it is impossible to demonstrate absolutely that an animal experiences pain,” researcher Bob Elwood of the Queen’s School of Biological Sciences, was quoted as saying in a press release. “However, various criteria have been suggested regarding what we would expect if pain were to be experienced. The research at Queen’s has tested those criteria and the data is consistent with the idea of pain. Thus, we conclude that there is a strong probability of pain and the need to consider the welfare of these animals.”

...

Elwood described how it went: “Ninety crabs were each introduced individually to a tank with two dark shelters. On selecting their shelter of choice, some of the crabs were exposed to an electric shock. After some rest time, each crab was returned to the tank. Most stuck with what they knew best, returning to the shelter they had chosen first time around, where those that had been shocked on first choice again experienced a shock. When introduced to the tank for the third time, however, the vast majority of shocked crabs now went to the alternative safe shelter. Those not shocked continued to use their preferred shelter.”


Gee, I wonder why there are no university studies about fetal pain during late-term abortions?


Go read the hand-wringing for yourselves; I'm too disgusted to bring over tripe from people who care more about the wellbeing of a crab than a helpless infant.

So, do they want you to wait for a fish to die before you fillet it?

13. The human foetus feels no pain before 24 weeks

I would hardly think that an invertebrate shellfish would be more highly developed and subject to pain than that.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/jun/25/human-foetus-no-pain-24-weeks

Lets not give the fundy anti-choice "right to lifers" anything to base their nonsense on.

If I didn't think this was a mole trying to confuse the DUmmies I would be pissed about the last sentence.

I can't help but think that maybe the DUmmies are concerned about the pain that other crabs may be going through.
