it is animal cruelty, just people have done it for so long and many believe that by doing so is not too bad, such as killing a spider, or a bird for hunting.. but i personally think it is animal cruelty and should not be done.

Should shark fin soup be banned?

Yes it should be! It is animal cruelty! Did you know that they catch sharks, cut off their fins while they are still alive and throw them back in the water to die? I don't know about you but this sounds like cruelty to me! Millions of sharks die each year because of this delacacy..


My husband puchased three lobsters yesterday and then put them in fresh cold water overnight. They died overnight Are they still ok to cook and eat today?

Yes, they are ok to eat, but probably will not taste very good. Lobsters have an enzyme in their muscles that causes the meat to become mushy over time, Maine lobsters must be eaten immediately after they die, and ideally placed in a pot of boiling water while still alive. Florida lobster should be frozen or refrigerated once they die, with their heads removed of course. Lobsters which are dead and are not frozen or refrigerated can go bad and should not be eaten.

The cocoons of the silk worms are submerged, still alive, mind you, in boiling water so the silk can be extracted. I have seen it on tv before. When the cocoons are put into the boiling water, they start jumping around trying to escape.
