Store sells shrink wrapped crabs...alive

[LPC]

What a cruel and appalling thing to do to! As you say, Catherine, once again this shows that speaking up can and does change the practices of others - especially where a company is being criticised publicly and risks losing money.

I noted this important article, which is a link in the one you cited:
http://blogs.nature.com/news/2013/08/exp...-pain.html

I have bookmarked that page. Anyone who eats lobsters, prawns, etc. should be aware of the suffering caused by being boiled alive.
