Aren't we supposed to be calling them *sea stars* ? Why the hate?

When we kept lobster traps, we found them to be a pain b/c they ate the bait in the traps; would throw them into the bottom of the boat and take them to shore, leave them on the dock, to bake in the sun. Never once, did they crawl off the dock to escape in the water below.

Guests would take them home for *souvenirs*.

understand that lobsters walk straight. It’s the crabs that walk sideways.

With this knowledge in mind lobsters are to be considered
as good guys and crabs as those who tend to bend the law.

Which direction starfish may walk is still questionable.
