Lobster's Pains

A) What is one warrant of Wallace's?

One warrant of Wallace's is that Maine Lobster Festival turns a blind eye to sufferings of lobsters.

B) One learns quickly that this essay is not really (or only) about  the lobster festival, or even about eating lobster. What is it about,  then? If you had been the publisher of Gourmet magazine (in which this  article originally appeared), would you have published this article?  Why or why not?

The article is really about how we, as consumers, turn a blind eye or doesn't think about the organism that we are eating, whether it is a cow, pig, or lobster. But Wallace points out that the practice of eating/cooking a lobster is much more intimate. If I wanted to eat a lobster, I will be the direct cause of that lobster's death. If I wanted to eat a burger, I won't be the direct cause of that cow's death because the cow, generally, is already killed and divided into many parts. Wallace also hints at the irony of the Maine Lobster Festival, which sounds like it is celebrating lobsters, but in fact is a killing ground for thousands of lobsters. 
If I had been publisher of Gourmet magazine, I would hesitate to put this article on the magazine, because while it is good to create awareness in consumer's minds, a Gourmet magazine's job (I think) is to promote food. Nevertheless, the article is very interesting. I think it would belong more in the category of animal(?) rights...
