    That is so cute.

    The last 10 seconds or so are the best.

    Piki got owned.

    Interesting how worked up people get about lobsters being boiled.

    Vertebrates (i.e. animals with spinal cords) are the only class of animals that possess C-fibres in their nervous systems – the nerve fibres responsible for the sensation we humans call pain.

    Lobsters and other crustaceans have nerves that can tell them they’re being damaged and to move away, but they certainly can’t feel “pain” the way that humans or other vertebrate animals do.

    I DON’T LIKE TO TOUCH!

  5. mlkk says:

    I hate kids, and even I found this video to be cute. All except for knowing why the lobsters are there part.

  6. Piki says:

    Sorry, guys… That’s an act of cruelty. Let living animals die in the freezer.

    sdfsdfs

  8. Pikiti says:

    Just because they dont scream, it doesnt mean they dont fell. poor little animals.

    Some times I wish i was a vegetarian!

  9. Jenn McF says:

    I love that kid! Can I touch them? sure.. No *backs away* Just like I was at his age..

  10. ... says:

    1. They could die, but if not its still cruel
    2. Yeah thats pretty cruel to me
    3. Just because we all kill every day (apparently) doesn’t mean its acceptable. At all.

    @ Ensey : cooking doesn’t normally involve cooking things live; the things are normally killed pretty painlessly

  11. Piki is a Pussy says:

    Piki, think before you type.

    1. They would not die in a fridge/freezer, rather they would sleep.

    2. As Ensey stated, being boiled to death will be the cause.

    3. Spare a thought for all the things you kill each day. We all kill, every day. Why should size matter?

  12. Lydia says:

    When lobsters are cooked they can’t feel anything. They have no nerves. You hear a screaming, but all it is is air escaping from their shells.

  13. Ensey says:

    Lol Piki chill – it wasn’t the freezer, it’s just a normal fridge and they will die by being boiled alive.. Act of cruely? Hah, it’s called cooking my dear :)

  14. serveck says:

    mmmmm… lobstah!

  15. Looks like an act of deliciousness to me.

  16. Noah says:

    you are an idiot.

  17. natureboy says:

    If your dead body settled to the bottom of the ocean lobsters would feast on you. Sharks would eat you alive with no concern of your pain. The big fish eat the little fish, this is the way zues designed things to be.

  18. tim smith says:

    I suggest you read “Consider the Lobster” by David Foster Wallace.

    How any sentient being can claim to know what another sentient being feels is quite astounding. I understand why you want to believe what you say you believe, but you should be more skeptical about believing what you want to believe.

    This video is about lobsters and a kid with lobsters and a dad with some lobsters. There are lobsters in a bucket and the dad lobsters out of it and in the fridge with a kid.

  20. Stevo says:

    1: Putting lobsters, as well as many invertebrates puts them to “sleep” so to say. They cannot regulate their internal temperature like us mammals and so they shut down and go into a type of “suspended animation”. They will die later being boiled, but indeed “putting them to sleep” before boiling is the most humane way to dispatch the lobster. People need to understand that a lobster or crab is basically a big “bug” with very very limited brain function, so if you don’t feel bad about swatting a fly or stepping on a cockaroach, then you shouldn’t feel too bad about a lobster. At least you are eating it afterwards.

    BTW that kid is way too cute

  21. Stevo says:

    i meant putting lobsters… in a fridge!

  22. Joel says:

    Just to set the record straight:

    1) the ocean water they live in is as cold as the refrigerator. Just put a wet paper towel in a the bowel/box with them

    2) you drop them in the already boiling water head first. they die instantly.

    3) if done properly, as stated above, their demise is much more humane than what we did to the hamburger you had at lunch and the steak you had for dinner.

  23. washington says:

    The northern coastal temperatures that these lobsters live and flourish in are equivalent to the temperatures in our home refrigerators.

    Also, “When asked whether lobsters feel pain after being placed in boiling water, Tony Yaksh, a professor of anesthesiology, responded that because they lack the emotional component, lobsters feel something different than pain as we know it. Additionally, an independent study funded by the Norwegian government found that the nervous systems of lobsters are too simple to process pain.”

    WOW!

    Can I touch em?
    Yes?
    No!

  25. kat says:

    that kid is kinda cute but my god hes a R-tard, how many times did his dad tell him they weren’t in the box yet the kid STILL looked in the box… lol

  26. wow! says:

    Makes me want kids!

  27. To Piki and ... says:

    Piki and …

    Only a fag would say some gay shit like that. Probably 1 out of 238778 people in the U.S. can stick a metaphoric dildo up there ass as much as you can, a real one too for that matter, and for some reason I think your parents pat you on the head when you take a shit. “Just because we kill everyday doesn’t make it acceptable. At all” Oh stfu. You and piki just gave me the sudden urge to go kill some defenseless animals.

    I think that dad needs to teach his son to man up. He’s young, but not so young to be acting that goofy.

  29. Rastabreeder says:

    Vegans on soap , Vegetarians on shampoo … try and get how the food chain works , then read biology and get the human organism , then go eat stones and tell me you can live that way … you can yeah , but not your body … read more bout animals too to see that every animal has some kind of not beautiful ending of his life eventually … i prefer to eat meat than to give it to the worms … think of this that nature don’t have freezer so it can freeze meat for later use … it s wasted when it dies. And don’t do drugs, eat more meat !
