The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals put up a billboard near the Inner Harbor that is not getting the greatest response from those on social media.
On the billboard, it has a picture of a crab, along with the caption, "I'm ME, Not MEAT." The billboard will be in place for the Baltimore Seafood Festival on September 15.
"Just like humans, crabs feel pain and fear, have unique personalities, and value their own lives," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in a release. "PETA's billboard aims to give Charm City residents some food for thought about sparing sensitive marine animals the agony of being boiled alive or crushed to death in fishing nets simply by going vegan."
Response to the billboard on social media has been mixed, with some Marylanders saying the people in this state will never stop eating crabs, that crab is king.

One of the Idiot Libtards' best ideas since their animal cracker campaign ... trying to stop people from shearing sheep ... and asking children to give up teddy bears ...
Weren’t these the same retards who claimed that having dogs was like having slaves, and we should all let them run free?
Crabs will eat other crabs, so I doubt a crab actually said that.
Crabs do have better personalities than some...
Sorry, but according to the order of nature, humans eat some animals, and some animals try to eat humans.
peta isn’t for animals. It’s for the end of Western Civilization.
Are these people demented??
PETA seems to come up with these outlandish campaigns. Such as the Holocaust on a plate campaign, in which they compared chicken in your dinner plate to the Holocaust.
Speaking for myself, as one who doesn’t want to see animals harmed or mistreated, that organization makes me more likely to want to eat chicken or crab based on their nonsense.
I think the can be turning away potential supporters by their over the top inane campaigns.
PETA is ok with eating baby parts from abortion factories.
I’m so glad I’m not enlightened.
I wonder what PETA would say about animal abortions and whT happens to aborted animal parts. Somehow I think they would have a different view if animals were involved.
Sluts with the crabs shouldn’t tell people to stop eating crabs.
Urging Marylanders not to eat crabs.
Good luck with that ;-0
Years ago, one of these Peta type idiots said that if she was driving down a street, and suddenly a child and a dog ran in front of her, and she had to hit one, she would hit the CHILD.
Her reasoning was that if she hit the child, an ambulance would be on the way with medical support, but if she hit the dog no one would do a thing to help it.
Putting up a billboard with a picture of a crab right next to the word meat will probably have the opposite effect. Id venture a guess that crab consumption will actually go up locally

Tie some PETA supporters to a shallow pier piling and leave them through a couple of tide cycles.
If meat is murder, is crab meat regicide?
When the left has outlawed the use of oil, plastic, guns, automobiles, and eating all forms of meat and plants, they’ll start eating us and say it’s for the good of the planet.
