Whole Foods Sells Lobsters Kindly!

The original link to the article has expired. But, if its about the lobster condos: when I went to the WF on Union Sq, I was amazed by the condos and asked the friendly fishmonger, " Who puts them in the little tubes??" He explained that they dump the lobsters into the tank, and the lobsters actually crawl into the tubes themselves. Apparently they like to be alone. Who knew?

But, I'm with Docsconz on this one, if the animal is less stressed, it will taste better.

I've even been told to 'hypnotize' the lobster by putting it in a headstand position for a few minutes, as this will calm it. Or to put them into a cold water pot and then bring up to a boil as this is less stress inducing.
