The UK government is set to ban the practice of boiling lobsters alive as part of sweeping animal cruelty reforms. The move recognises crustaceans as sentient beings capable of feeling pain and marks a significant shift in animal welfare standards. The proposed changes aim to modernise food preparation laws and strengthen protections for animals across the country.
