From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2014-07-14:

"...I asked Kimberley Shears, the company's director of logistics, whether eating Larry [the lobster] was cruel. Admittedly we were enjoying a delicious lunch of cold lobster tails in Tangier's shoreside gazebo at the time, not the most sensitive choice of nourishment, considering the subject at hand. Ms. Shears bestowed a kind look on me, and said, "They technically don't have a brain." No, I thought: They have two penises instead, I guess it's a trade-off." -- Ian Brown, on lobsters.

Noted. I hadn't really paid that much attention, since I don't eat crustacea. (When I went vegetarian, a small part of the reason was that I was having trouble deciding whether eating meat was moral or not and I thought I should stop eating it until I figured that out. But once I stopped eating meat and realized I preferred not eating it, answering that question suddenly seemed a whole lot less urgent, and I really never did get back to it. I can make arguments for either side.)
