Move is part of a long-awaited Labour strategy including outlawing hen cages and ending puppy farming

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.

    That is completely incorrect. Operating a car is not natural, it is learned and a privilege. Flying a plane is not natural, it is earned, and heavily regulated which is why not everyone can be a pilot.

    Never heard the “Nothing unnatural exists” perspective asserted?

    If doing naive realism (as certainly seems could be the case), that’d be wild to jump from one to the other. :)

    Even replying on here though a magic rock that somehow converse to any area of the earth, not natural.

    As worth quibbling our way out of tautologies and naive realist definitions of “magic” as for “natural”.

    Half tempted to dispell the magic, and elaborate on the physics, chemistry, basics of hardware design, machine code, assembly, the various programming languages and their compilers, network infrastructure, packets, monitors, keyboards, ascii/utf8, font design (and accessibility interfaces), web protocols, federation, etc etc etc etc etc

    You need to open a dictionary and start learning words. I hate to shit on you in a reddit behavior way, but you sound dillusional.

    Mhmm. Presumptive, arrogant, condescending, ad-hominem flinging… I wonder if there’s some narcissism here, besides the smugnorance born of naive realism and wilful ignorance and lack of curiosity or humility. Could learn so much more, if took that plank out of your eye, rather than chastising others for what you presume in theirs.
