In 2005 a review of the literature by the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety tentatively concluded that "it is unlikely that [lobsters] can feel pain," though they note that "there is apparently a paucity of exact knowledge on sentience in crustaceans, and more research is needed."
A similar poll conducted in the UK (n=1963) likewise found that "the vast majority of participants agreed that lobsters (83.03 %), octopuses (80.65 %), and crabs (78.09 %) can feel pain", and a majority also thought that "honey bees (73.09 %), shrimp (62.20 %), caterpillars (58.06 %), and flies (54.23 %) could feel pain."

[6] Sebo calls the question of how to treat individuals of uncertain sentience, the "sentience problem" and argues that this problem which "Wallace raises deserves much more philosophical ...
