>Speaking only for myself, I admit to being somewhat of a hypocrite in this matter. I could not kill a critter myself, but I do eat meat (I draw the line at veal), knowing full well that the animal had to be killed. Out of site, out of mind.

It's probably one of the main reasons why I'm not a lobster eater. I hear how great lobster is, but having to actually choose which one will die leaves me out. By the time I looked at them all in the tank, I'd probably have given them all names and bonded with them.
May be you don't eat lobsters because they are not kosher? <g>
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
