Is there a reason the tag for review/deletion was removed from this article? I don't know as though a single citation makes this organization notable. The second citation is from PETA, which I don't think could be considered a reliable or NPOV citation for this subject.

Guardian Article
Would it be appropriate to include that "other researches, however, believe this study to show a retreat, rather than a painful response" (from the same article). Some other wording might be better, but the Guardian article makes it seem like there is some debate as to the study's results.

There was probably debate about the Norwegian study too, but it's not really appropriate to go into detail, because this is an article about the organization, not whether what it believes is correct. I added the second study only to balance the first one.

"This was challenged by a Norwegian study released in 2005, which suggested that lobsters cannot feel pain due to their diminished nervous capacity. [3] This topic continues to be debated, however, as 2007 British study contradicted that conclusion, suggesting that crustaceans do feel pain, and that pain responses are crucial to any organism's survival.[4]"
The current way reads to me like a change in thinking: Group thinks something -> 2005 study says no -> 2007 study says yes, therefore, current accepted theory is that they do feel pain. It just seems to read a bit softer and neutral with the change, but maybe that's not appropriate, I'll let you choose and won't challenge the point any more. Thanks again!
