No one in their right mind buys from Whole Foods anyway. They're a damn hippie joint.
I just got back from Boston and was LOVING their seafood. But I can't enjoy in here in the Midwest, thanks in part to crap like this.
I say anyone that caves to the PETA PHREAKS deserves to be drawn and...buttered...themselves!
It might hurt sales at Whole Foods. You know how those libs love to eat well and do whateverthehelltheywant while telling the rest of us what NOT to do. *Smirk*
They also love their Organic Wines. But, but don't grapes have feeeeeeeelings too? ;)
Seriously, a lobster has about as much cognative thought as a fish or a grasshopper. Yeesh.
I seriously doubt it.

After a day fishing in the ocean a fisherman is walking from the pier
carrying two lobsters in a bucket. He is approached by the Game Warden who
asks him for his fishing license.
The fisherman turns to the warden, "I did not catch these lobsters, they are
my pets. Everyday I come down to the water and whistle and these lobster
jump out and I take them for a walk only to return them at the end of the
day," he says.
The warden, not believing him, reminds him that it is illegal to fish
without a license. The fisherman turns to the warden and says, "If you don't
believe me then watch," as he throws the lobsters back into the water.
The warden says, "Now whistle to your lobsters and show me that they will
come out of the water."
The fisherman turns to the warden and says, "What lobsters?"
I'll feel much safer shopping at those stores now. I was tired of the constant worry of getting pinched. :)
They had better quit selling veggies as well.:
It has come to our attention at THE UNCOVEROR that something startling has been discovered by Dr. Bill Williams, a botanist at The Helvetica Institute. If his preliminary findings turn out to be true, they will prove that killing plants for food is no less cruel than killing animals for food. "Plants are aware," says Dr. Williams, "and they feel pain!"
Dr. Williams, and his team were doing experiments on talking to plants. He had set out to prove that this helped them only because it blows carbon dioxide over their leaves. He had one team speak lovingly to the plants, and another threaten and verbally abuse them. To the surprise of all involved, the plants that were lovingly spoken to thrived, producing large, lovely flowers. Their growth rates were off the charts! The plants that were verbally abused and threatened never bloomed. Some even withered and died.
His team then connected EEG electrodes to several plants, and measured their responses to various stimuli. "They definitely felt it when we pricked them with needles. One of my staff even burned one with a lighter. Not only did its EEG go off the charts, but so did every plant in the same room!" Dr. Williams is submitting his findings to other scientists for further review. He told me that plants not only seem to be aware and to feel pain, it looks like they can even communicate. They may even be sentient beings.
He told me, "I hadn't thought of it until now, but how does a fruit tree know how to make a sweet attractive fruit that animals will eat when it drops off, and spread the seeds? How do flowers know how to attract bees with sweet, fragrant nectar, and get their pollen spread about, assuring a next generation? They may be doing this consciously!" Maybe Disney will make a cartoon about a happy little vegetable. He will be called Buddy the Carrot. He'll lose his mother to the farmer when he picks her, and eats her. That could do to vegetables what Bambi did to meat! Carrots may in fact be more intelligent than deer. Who knows for sure? You read it here first at THE UNCOVEROR
They threaten to picket the stores if they don't give in, so the stores drop products. They are egged on by wealthy 'environmentalists' like Julie Packard and her Monterey Bay Aquarium 'activists'.
Of course it helps that Julie Packard owns a food manufacturing plant that makes 'vegetarian' seafood. She's hoping you quit buying the real thing an buy her stuff.
How about this latest Peta adventure below?
PETA PESTS AMBUSH BEYONCÉ
June 17, 2006 -- THE nerdy couple who paid thousands of dollars to have dinner with Beyoncé Knowles at Nobu 57 on Thursday turned out to be bullies from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals who ambushed the pop diva about wearing fur.
Knowles showed up at the restaurant with her mother, Tina, and friend Heather Schindler, who heads her House of Dereon clothing line, to dine with two people she thought were fans.
The meal had been sold off at a Save the Music benefit last year as part of the charity's silent auction, but Knowles had no idea she was being ambushed.
After exchanging pleasantries and ordering their meals, the two animal-rights zealots suddenly pulled out a video camera and showed Beyoncé a tape of minks being killed. The PETA agents also used a hidden camera to secretly videotape Knowles and her reaction to their nasty questions. They were finally asked to leave 20 minutes later.
Our infuriated spy said, "They paid thousands of dollars to have that dinner, and Beyoncé honored her commitment - this set-up was a long time coming."
When she got to the table with Schindler, Beyoncé "immediately hugged the people and said, 'Thank you so much for paying so much money to have a meal with me. Save the Music is dear to my heart and does so much good. I can't tell you how much it means to me.' She was very gracious."
Minutes later, after everyone ordered their meal, Beyoncé was ambushed.
"This is how she is repaid?" cried our source. "She raises millions for Save the Music and music education in schools - and now she can never do something like that again. It is ridiculous. Those PETA people are nothing more than holier-than-thou bullies. What about the children - our children, you know, human beings? They don't care about them! They should be ashamed of themselves ambushing Beyoncé like that. She does so much good and all they can think about is fur trim."
Thankfully, Beyoncé was not left alone with the rude activists, but had Schindler by her side. At one point, one of the PETA pests asked Beyoncé, "How do you kill your animals?" - to which Schindler coolly responded, "With a needle."

Bugzappers are probably next.
What a joke this crap is.
I know this is in Canada, but my tagline applies...

What gets me about Peta, is they are always protesting humans. When are they going to start protesting bears, lions, sharks, jackals, snakes, dogs, cats, buzzards etc etc... I mean lions for example aren`t what I would call too compassionate when it comes to killing. They just rip the hell out of an animal, even start eating the damn thing before it`s even fully dead. Why doesn`t Peta demand lions eat tofu?
spineless-pussies-in-business alert.
Everything from live crabs, lobster, frogs, ell, various fish...and many things I have never seen before in my life.
When I ask what it is they just say, "Good for you...you eat...you like....buy now...all gone tonight...
OK, I'll take a dozen...I'm hungry.
You can bet they'd be mute on the point if they were making 500% on each crustacean.
Adolf Hitler once issued a Fuehrerbefehl dictating to German restaurants the methodologies to be used in killing lobsters. He was apparently concerned with potential suffering on the part of the lobsters. And they said he and Eva didn't have any kids....
