Boiling lobsters while they are alive and conscious will be banned as part of a government strategy to improve animal welfare in England.
Government ministers say that “live boiling is not an acceptable killing method” for crustaceans and alternative guidance will be published.
The practice is already illegal in Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand. Animal welfare charities say that stunning lobsters with an electric gun or chilling them in cold air or ice before boiling them is more humane.
UK government caring more about lobster welfare than that of trans people.
Not just “trans people”.
Just people.
Not the only category suffering their cruelty and indifference.
I’ve survived several rounds of the culls.

No fun being dependent on your abuser trying to include you in their democide.
Maybe time to start identifying as a lobster…
Is this a poorly executed joke or whataboutism.
It’s the Streisand effect, when an ineffectual government actually does something it becomes a reminder of its failures
I don’t think you’re allowed to boil trans people alive either
You certainly shouldn’t be eating them
I mean you can eat them if you know what I mean
The bad thing is that these goals do not conflict with each other: they could easily do both if they wanted to.
