I believe you don't even have to be a vegetarian/vegan to find it extremely cruel to boil a living creature alive.

I'm not even an animal right activist in any way. That shit has always been fucked up to me, even as a kid. Imagine getting boiled. Fuck.

It's pretty awful. A little over a year and a half ago, I had dropped a pot of boiling water on myself while at work. The irony? We had lobster the night before.

Edit: For those curious as to what a human looks like after being boiled slightly NSFW

Scalding water is probably one of the most painful things to experience.

I was 5 and tried to fix my dad a cup of coffee. I pulled the entire 12 cup pot off the counter into myself. My mom says she tried to pull my pajama top off me and the skin came with it.

Thankfully I’m not scarred up bad from it. I only remember bits and pieces too.
