:o Oh my god! That's horrible! I wish I could help, but I'm a simple Australian... Then again, I know a few people who would really want to sign this... *salutes and walks out, serching for the said people*

They do the same thing with lobsters, but I don't see you getting upset about that. No offense.

Actually, yes I do. I love lobster but I don't like how they're tossed in alive. It's rare when I even get one but I'll tell them to humanely kill the animal first, then cook it and I'm hearing many, not all yet, are using ways to humanely kill their lobsters.

anything helps.

define killing something humanely.

[Spike Spiegel]

How can you kill and eat a flippin' turtle?? They're so cute and cool-looking!!

[iris]

define killing something humanely.

Let's try:
A) more humanely than throwing it in boiling water/oil to die
B) more humanely than hacking them up while still alive

Take your pick.

Buslady, you might not want to call it 'murder.' Makes your argument sound extremist, even though it's pretty logical.
