Posted by Eric at 3:30 pm. Filed under: General

Somebody pass the butter. A recent Norwegian study reports that lobsters and crabs don’t have the capacity to feel pain. And the animal rights nuts at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) — who run a “lobster liberation” website — must be steaming.

Mmmm…. lobstah!
