How would you like to have an ice pick stuck in your brain?
Would your feelings change if you were a lobster?
Would it make a difference if you lived in Switzerland?

The Swiss, like New Zealanders, believe lobsters have feelings like humans. There is no scientific evidence to support this assumption, but like so many other things people speculate. This is why we have movements to save the whales, save the snails and don’t cut puppy dog tails.
