Ban the boiling of live crabs and other crustaceans

What the petition asks
Ban the boiling or cooking in any form of live crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans. Imagine being boiled alive with no escape. I believe it is savage.
I believe that if boiling crustaceans alive continues it could escalate towards greater problems for humanity and the beloved creatures we share earth with. This way of killing creatures is breaking my heart.
