EJ you totally miss the point - as said they are being driven to extinction, plus I for one don't eat lobster (how many people keep lobsters as pets by the way) but from what I've read many are stunned or killed before cooking now anyway in our restaurants at least. You can't keep comparing it to our consumption of chicken etc, when was the last time you saw a chicken disembowled on the counter at Morrisons? Do you have yours wrapped up alive so you can have a half arsed bash at killing it at home...I don't buy any meat unless its free range, I need to know the animals had a half decent life before its end.
The main argument I have with Tesco is that whilst I fully understand the differences in cultures it is wrong for a UK company like Tesco to get involved, especially as they now represent the UK on a global scale. I wonder how many of their shareholders know about the this trade.
Its easy to stick your head in the sand and say oh well its just like how we eat poultry
