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’s fine, I’m still trying to figure out what you were trying to say with “putting a notion in”. Is that an idiom somewhere? Maybe somewhere that doesn’t speak English?

        Maybe try using some AI software to ask it what it means, as reading comprehension is hard for you. Also, if you are going to paraphrase, you should do it correctly. Since you’re changing the topic of the conversation to one regarding writing. Weak deflection, but youre trying none the less.
