Lobster Liberation Front
From Wikipedia,
The Lobster Liberation Front is an animal rights campaign operating sporadically on the coasts of Dorset and Cardiganshire, Wales. Their methods include sabotaging lobster pots and fishing boats. In 2004, the village of Worth Matravers, Dorset was targeted.
The LLF consider boiling lobsters alive (the traditional method for cooking them) unacceptable and use direct action to prevent it. As lobsters possess a rudimentary nervous system, the LLF believe they feel pain and thus boiling them is unnecessarily cruel [1]. This was challenged in a study released in 2005, which determined that lobsters cannot feel pain due to their diminished nervous capacity.
