"I feel this is extraordinarily cruel,"Well, it's not like we're forcing the lobsters to wear women's panties on their heads or anything.

"How in the hell can a lobster be demeaned?"
I'm not sure but it is probably written in a "claws" somewhere. ;)

lobsters == bugs
That doesn't mean I don't very much enjoy eating lobster, but they're big bugs.

"The things go crazy when they hear the music," she said. "They're realizing they are going to meet their doom." It's probably just the vibration of the crane motor . . . but it's still hilarious!
What difference does it make to a lobster whether he's grabbed by a crane or by the Fickle Fingers of the Fishmonger? Assuming that the tasty little critter is sentient and can anticipate his imminent demise (a BIG assumption), he knows he's in trouble as soon as he is lifted out of the water by whatever means.
The heck with it. I'd like mine steamed with drawn butter and plenty of napkins, please.

It's only 8:30 here on the West Coast, but I could dig into that lobster right now. Look there's drawn butter, lemon, and beer! I wonder how much that lobster weighs??

I think it said it was 11 pounds. I once consumed a 5 pound lobster.

Back in 1998, a Denver restaurateur received death threats because he released a one-clawed lobster into Boston Harbor, but didn't manage to get the rubber band off the claw. It ought to surprise me that somebody would want to kill a man over a lobster, but sadly, it doesn't.

D'em bugs sure taste good! :-)
"Matter of fact, when we catch cod or bluefish, nine times out of 10 we find lobsters in their belly."
I would doubt that those are lobsters in the bluefish, they are probably mantis shrimp.

The envirowackos should take the lobsters to the forest and set them free.

Gollub also recalled a 1981 Supreme Judicial Court case, Knox v. MSPCA, in which the state's highest court ruled that goldfish are protected under animal-cruelty laws. Why am I not surprised the Mass Supreme court ruled that goldfish are legally protected under animal cruelty laws?
An even better question is why did they take the case?
