Loved the way you put this

While I generally refrain from flowery language, I do agree with you. It is an immutable fact of our universe that the vast majority of life has to consume other life in order to continue living. But we are among the few species of animals that have evolved the capacity for empathy, compassion and mercy, which is a prerequisite for co-operation - the undisputed foundation of our success as a species. So we should cherish this ability, and use it where we can, because it makes us more human.

And your comment is also getting me choked up!

Imagine how many of those can be tasty

We're not too swift are we? Thousands of years here and we're still trying to grasp that other creatures besides humans are important. Hell, we don't even respect our own species much. It's sad, yet sad isn't even the right word for it. People that do things like this make me happy though. @@BB-nz5sk

Birdman 🐣 Vegan 🐟 Future 🦀 liked

I think any creature with enough cognition to like, experience any sensation at all, probably doesn't feel good about being taken completely out of its normal environment, presumably fed terribly if at all, and then kept in a tiny box. I don't mind eating lobster, but this way of doing it seems absolutely terrible.. They should keep them in a proper big tank with enrichment, then take them out and kill them quickly when someone buys them.

Animals feel more than what they tell us

To be fair, having a pet is not about how much it can give to you but how much you wanna give to it. I have dogs, they amazing, but I also have plants, and I love to take care of them, see them grow, bloom, etc.. They do almost nothing but I feel very attached to them just like my dogs, if one of them starts dieing, or get sick I get sad. Anything can be a pet, you just gotta enjoy taking care of it.

@@CabezasDePescado I think that's true, and I wonder about lobsters, because they don't exactly have brains. They're very similar to insects in that you can get stimulus and response, but they have one of the most primitive brains of any living creature out there. To the point that you can't really call them brains. They're closer to meat robots than they are to vertebrates like mice and rats. They don't really have the ability to feel pain. But empathy is a human superpower, so we're able to project how we would feel onto a creature who can't. And I think that's pretty cool. Because it means that we as a species are able to ask questions about how we ought to treat others. And that's important considering the fact that we've terraformed this planet to feed ourselves and create ecosystems simply by existing. Considering the needs of the life around us is something we need to do more often, and not just in the way we feed ourselves, but in things like urban planning and other areas.

One of my favorite dives was night dive off the island of Cozumel swimming to a flat spot in between two large coral habitats and seeing how many lobsters came out in the night. Once you got too close they kicked their tail/abdomen and dispersed in seconds leaving behind a cloud of sand. Crazy seeing only a handful in the day and what looked like a hundred in the night when the surface is quieter. Never saw that many lobsters at once again since that dive

@@jakebryant9452 God didn't make nature. God does not exist

This comment needs to be higher!

Bump! I hope Brady sees this. 💜💜💜

Today they are much more safer in an acquarium as a pet.

You can also tell by their claws and tail, males have a large crusher claw that’s more rounded while females have a small crusher claw. And females have a wide tail, while males have a thinner tail. Also you don’t need to look at their swimmerets through a scope to tell if they’re male or female, it’s very easy to tell with the naked eye. So the guy in the video should easily be able to tell!

@@solarr5143 Neither claws nor tail are a great indicator of gender for lobsters as they can vary across age range and within the population. Looking at the pleopods will guarantee correct identification. Please note Solarr that I was referring to determining molt stage when I mentioned looking at pleopods under the scope NOT gender identification.

Big insects and spiders are usually kinda cute too imo.

Same. Lol

If you like this vid, you'll love the documentary My Octopus Teacher.

They don't experience cellular degeneration, like humans do, so they could, in theory, live indefinitely. If they don't die of predation, they basically live until they get so big that it takes more energy to molt their shell than they can take in.

Yesss!!! Small cave!! Brady, please ! Thank you

That was my first thought, he needs something to hide in and more toys to play with

yeah just like many other animals, and us, he feels naked, they need a shelter

Is true! When you see them in the wild you find them living inside the whole of the rocks or under the coral. They need to hide themselves.

I had pet rats a few years ago and it was incredibly fascinating. Most creatures have a desire for their surroundings to be comfortable and pleasing and they’re all unique and have their own desires. There is no “collective” lobster or rat, and spending time with an individual animal is insightful for teaching us that. If one rat moved the other’s set-up, a fight would surely ensue - or they would become annoyed with each other, which eventually could be identified in their body language and facial expressions alone. Sometimes this annoyance would transfer in their grooming behaviours, like a mother agressively fixing up her kid’s hair. It wasn’t pure aggression, there was love and a whole other range of complex emotions, and the same ones we possess… truly the most hillarious, beautiful thing. I don’t think it’s necessarily intelligence that we value and recognize in other things foresmostly, but sociality. God bless

@Sunfeld Jiramhir No doubt lobsters think differently than you or I, but to make the assertion that everything you do is learned and 100% conscious behavior is pretty wild. Other living beings aren't THAT different from us.

@Sunfeld Jiramhir I'd assert that pretty much every single animal on the planet has "wants."

You all know this is in the Roach Family right?

@@bassthumper7331 Yeah, and these used to be fed to slaves because of that reason. Now, they're considered fine dining animals. Was there a point?

I had a blue crayfish for a while. He exhibited very similar behavior. I'd arrange the small rocks and things in his tank, and by morning, he'd have re-arranged most of them. In fact, he seemed to have a preferred place where he wanted things. He'd push all the rocks and things to the same spot every time, no matter where I put them. It's a level of behavioral sophistication that I didn't expect from a crustacean. I've found that many of the creatures around us have more complexity than we often give them credit for, and seeing it just requires us to pay attention for long enough.

I bet the lobster meat is just as sweet

Lobsters are exceptionally intelligent. Some researchers think that they may rival the Octopus.

Lobsters are technically nigh immortal

how long do they live i wonder

Average lifespan is 100 years and they are technically immortal

Lobsters are interesting because they don't deteriorate with age like most other animals. Telomeres on DNA are like the plastic tips on shoelaces. As you get older and your DNA is replicated over and over, the telomeres wear down and your DNA begins to have errors as its replicated, causing deterioration, cancer, etc. Lobsters constantly repair their telomeres, and typically only die due to predation, or become too large to successfully molt, and die during the process.
