Are oysters conscious?

[Deleted member 102239]

I've had five oysters in my fridge for a few days

Google says that they live for up to a week in the conditions that I have them in

My special oyster shucking knives haven't arrived yet

If they are sentient, I lowkey feel bad tbh.

They are 'alive'

Whether they are capable of conscious thought idk

How do you know they are alive

How do you know they are alive

The lady I bought them from said so

She said something about them contracting and relaxing their muscles to stop me from opening them

So why do they sell them alive if they are just gonna be roasted?

They'll fry in a pool of hydrochloric acid

Brutal death tbh

Yes every living being has a mind which means they're consciouss and they can communicate and respond to us even plants

No they're not sentient
There's even an argument for vegans eating oysters, despite them technically being animals

No they’re too simple to feel what we call consciousness. They’re just aware of some stimuli
