Scientific Review Proves That Lobsters Feel Pain

A report by Advocates for Animals, a Scottish animal protection organization, presents a wide array of scientific evidence that lobsters, like other animals, are capable of experiencing pain and suffering. The report arrays 15 years of available research showing that lobsters respond behaviorally as if they are in pain, have biological structures for mediating pain, and demonstrate mental cognitive processes such as learning, memory, association, and generalization?all of which would require that they have the brain capacity sufficient to feel pain.
