flag England to ban live boiling of lobsters, crabs, and shrimp by 2030 due to evidence they feel pain.

flag England will ban boiling live lobsters, crabs, and shrimp starting in 2030, citing scientific evidence that crustaceans can feel pain. flag Similar bans are in place in Switzerland, New Zealand, Norway, and Reggio Emilia, Italy, requiring humane killing methods like electric shock or brain destruction. flag While Canada has not introduced legislation, some chefs and activists are promoting ethical alternatives, such as freezing lobsters before swift killing. flag The Lobster Council of Canada notes that less than 40% of exports are live, with most products already being frozen tails or cooked meat. flag No official Canadian ban is pending, and the government has not issued guidance, though ethical concerns are growing.
