Ban the culinary practice of boiling lobsters while still alive and conscious.

Petition Details

The Swiss government is banning the culinary practice of boiling lobsters while they are still conscious.

This is in response to studies that suggest lobsters have advanced nervous systems and feel pain.

Lobsters can live for up to 50 years and the practice of boiling them alive is barbaric.
