Not all bad who gave us Halal minimizing pain for food animals. Need not be paranoid now we're global not tribal? Still must beware of advertising to sell overdressedup when simple raw materials work better? Like baking soda, citric acid, washing soda for household cleaning

"More consideration of the treatment of these animals is needed"

Why is there no word on how this can be achieved? Why introduce the possibility that: "The nervous system in the head and thorax is still functional an hour later" or "crustaceans can likely feel pain" and then provide no idea of how to prevent suffering?

Well, many people don't care about vertebrates, either. Welcome to "humanity."

I can assure you, they feel pain... Look at me ! I don't have a brain but I can sure feel pain !

interesting concept, however any living organism must have a self-defense mechanism against being destroyed, otherwise the species would become instinct.

Oh good grief, nature is one big pain-fest, what with animals hunting, killing and eating each other, the bigger fish eating the smaller fish ( and without even throwing them in boiling water first ). .

Why does it need to be spelled out? Lobsters and prawns have the front half of the body torn off from the abdomen which is kept for the meat. The nervous system in the head and thorax is still functional an hour later = Don't tear crustaceans apart while they're still alive.

Mind-numbingly sad that it takes 'research' to 'prove' non-human animals feel pain. Pain is one of Nature's self-defence systems. Species that don't feel pain quickly go extinct even if they don't taste good.
