PETA Wants To Rescue 140 Year Old Lobster
Anyone who has passed the century mark deserves at least a minimal amount of respect, right? That's PETA's reasoning behind their wish to save an 140 year old lobster, currently awaiting his fate at New York City's City Crab and Seafood restaurant. And for once, I actually agree with them.The 20 pound sea creature is currently unsure of his fate. While the restaurant may or may not cook him, what they definitely won't do is release him back into the ocean.
PETA writes on their blog, "...by keeping him in captivity they are likely sentencing him to death. Because lobsters are sensitive to water quality, they easily die if too much waste is created in their environment. In order to prevent the lobsters' excrement from contaminating the tank water with ammonia, merchants normally do not feed lobsters, so the animals often starve or are reduced to attacking each other."
What do you think? Should the big guy be set free, do you think that PETA's being sensitive and the highest bidder should just eat the 140 year old lobster?
