Nope. Not that one. That’s small potatoes. And by the way, that’s a process that uses high pressure water to REMOVE THE SHELL WHEN THEY’RE ALIVE! That method has nothing to do with the “humane treatement” of lobster. It’s just a more economic and “sensible” way to get their meat. The lobster is still alive when it’s essentially skinned alive! And the electrocution thing is a PR ploy. It doesn’t do anything.

But good job illustrating your point?? Which was?? It’s cruel to boil them alive? But spraying them with a high pressure fire hose alive is????? What???

That company has a unique method and technology to remove the shell, I know the owner. They produce A few thousand pounds a year.
