I am certain that this is a valid argument if your talking about some of the more odorous practices like Veal and Fois Gras where there is significant long term cruelty required in terms of preparation, or something like Shark Fin soup where they lop off a relatively small part of a shark and then toss it back to suffer and die. Clubbing baby seals to draw in their mothers is cruel

But if your hill to die on is lobster getting boiled its a little weird.

No matter how you do it, dying hurts, there is no peaceful falling asleep and dying, there's no perfect way to die that there's no suffering and no pain. The Brain lives on for moments after the rest of the body dies record

Is boiling cruel? Probably but so is the habit of chopping parts off of living dogs in some markets in Asia,

You state that Predators do what they do because they're predators, we do what we do with thoughtless casualness at times.

But whether we slash their throats first and drop them in, or shoot then up with sleeping drugs and drop them in, there's going to be suffering.

Plus the suffering ads a yummy factor
