Dinner and a story.

I just read in the paper about something new and exciting. Effectively immediately when you buy a certain lobster you will be able to scan the lobster to determine who caught it and by what means. Did they use the dreaded wooden wire cage or the more comfortable vinyl wire trap. Can someone explain this to me. Why would any one care who and how their lobster was caught? Is it an animal rights issue? Are we soon going to demand the same for the chicken or cow? What farm did it come from? What was its name?
But let me understand more about the lobster. We care about the treatment of the lobster when caught but then we get it home we toss it live into a boiling pot of water?????  Poor Sabastian.
