"Researchers at Queen's University, Belfast, dabbed irritant acid on the antennae of 144 prawns. The creatures reacted by grooming and rubbing the affected area for up to five minutes: a response similar to that seen in mammals exposed to a noxious stimulant. The findings challenge the popular notion that only vertebrates feel pain."
The Times, November 8, 2007 'No backbone? Lobsters still feel pain'.

Lobster Thermidor
- Ensure lobster is alive
- Place on ice for a couple of hours or cover with a damp towel
- Place either boiling water or in cold water and bring slowly to the boil (for both methods expect lobsters to struggle, writhe and go through convulsive
movements for several minutes)
- Alternatively (to ensure animal feels no pain) stun immediately before boiling apply an electric
stunner to ensure the animal feels no pain
- Boil for 14 minutes to the 1 lb
- Remove boiled lobster meat from shell and coat generously with cheese and mustard sauce
