These animals were covered by the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act in 1997 after it was scientifically <strong>proved that they can feel pain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The video shows the frantic lobster <strong>struggle and thrash<\/strong> whilst a worker attempts to butcher the animal. The <strong>tail was hacked off<\/strong> while the lobster was still alive, and the animal was then <strong>put through a band saw<\/strong> around 20 to 30 seconds later.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video aligncenter is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Video Shows Inhumane Killing of Lobster at Nicholas Seafood\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iWKNVHHHOHM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p>The store \u2013 located at the popular Sydney Fish Market in Glebe \u2013 was<strong> slapped with a $1,500 fine<\/strong> after being taken to court by the RSPCA.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote>\r\n<p>&#8220;I attended the business and spoke to the manager \u2026.
