Ban Boiling Alive

It's 2025 - time to ban boiling alive! 

Every day, millions of crabs, lobsters and prawns endure unimaginable suffering, including one of the excruciating forms of death: being boiled alive. These intelligent and sentient creatures are tossed into scalding water, struggling as they experience intense pain for up to 3 minutes before they die.  No animal deserves that. 

This is an outdated, unnecessary practice, that we must end

 

Together, let's make 2025 the year to ban this barbaric practice

and save crustaceans from horrific pain and suffering

Millions of crabs, lobsters, and prawns suffer unimaginable pain when boiled alive. This outdated and cruel practice has no justification and must end.

Thank you to the over 2,600 of you who took action to demand the previous Secretary of State Steve Reed to ban boiling alive. Your collective voice has put pressure on Defra to change legislation, and we are not stopping here!

 

Newly appointed Secretary of State Emma Reynolds still needs to hear from you and you can do so by sending a postcard to her, to ban this horrific practice. Over 570 of you have already sent one, will you add to the mass and send one for decapod crustaceans?

Together, we can end this suffering!
