I think it is much more honest to eat what you just saw living - sticking your head in the sand about life and death doesn't help anyone but yourself.
For instance, I have more respect for someone who hunts and kills and eats their own meat, even though I wouldn't want to do it (but would if I had to), than someone who buys a package in a supermarket (like me).
Let's face it - there's not a nice way to die, and the earth is an imperfect place. God put animals here for us to eat.
As for worrying about how they are killed, far worse goes on in slaughterhouses than in a seafood restaurant with a lobster tank. This is why I try to buy organic/free range meat, by companies committed to humane slaughter.
If you don't like the idea of them being steamed or boiled, tell them you want them broiled; they dispatch them with a quick knife in the thorax.
People need to grow up a little.
And, Sharon MacEahern?
PETA is a den of childish, maladjusted, wrong-headed, misanthropic lunatics.
And worst of all, they are hypocrites of the highest order:
