Dutch Parliament majority wants to ban boiling of live crabs and lobsters

Members of the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of Dutch parliament, have renewed calls for a ban on boiling lobsters and crabs alive, describing the practice as unnecessarily cruel. A majority in the Tweede Kamer supports a new motion introduced by the Party for the Animals (PvdD) and the Party for Freedom (PVV) to prohibit the practice immediately.
