Do lobsters feel pain when cooked?
Lobsters are invertebrates with a very primitive nervous system. Human beings and other vertebrates possessing an advanced nervous system feel pain. A lobster’s nervous system is low on the evolutionary scale and is designed to respond to very basic stimuli contained within their habitat. Also, lobsters do not have vocal cords; therefore the sound that is often thought to be a scream is actually air escaping from the lobster’s shell.
