KILL LoBsTERs KINDLY
Put Them in Cold Water and Slowly
Bring Them to a Boil

Boiling over slow fire is the hap
piest death a lobster can meet, so il
has been determined at the Jersey ma
rine biological station. The expert
ments were carried out by Joseph
Sinel, well known biologist, for the
Isle of Jersey Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals, whose mem.
bers associated the prevalent method
of killing Holsters with medieval tor.
ture.
Lobsters, says Mr.. Sinel, are ex
tremely difficult to kill. Piercing the
brain does not seem to cause the lob
ster more than temporary annoyance
since his brain is mere nerve gan.
glion the size of hemp seed. He has
to be killed all over. To throw him
into boiling water fails to do the work
either mercifully or quickly since he
struggles violently to escape for about
two minutes.
