To me the law is probably well intended but likely ineffective. Beside, it's their country and having self-determination, let them do as they will.

That said, who is going to ensure no one breaks the law? I guess it mostly will affect commercial food preparers, but it's not like people at home will turn themselves in or they'll have embedded monitors on live lobsters who will rat out a cook. If they really meant it, just make sale of lobsters for eating illegal altogether.

Why not get companies like Amazon and Google involved? People are setting up microphones all around their houses and some even are adding cameras now. Hell even Amazon with their new stores could offer a lot in this field.

We can just have the algorithms work out who is breaking these kinds laws and then just add the fine to their amazon bill.

You can say people would be against this but im sure with enough conditioning and lobbying the populations will understand how this helps secure animal rights.
