PETA Puts Up Billboard Urging Marylanders To Stop Eating Crabs
CBS News ^ | August 23, 2018 | George Solis

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.

We’ve been paying $120/$125 per bushel all summer.

Will never happen.

We LOVE our crabs....steamed and spicy.

This just reminds me I need to get more before season end. Thanks PETA.

Yeah, well, being stuck in Ocean City doesn’t lend itself to finding those kinds of values. The crabs were huge, and heavy, but we paid more for a dozen than you do for a bushel. The big ones are hard to come by so we paid for them when we found them. Nothing worse than small crabs or big ones with nothing inside.

Soft shells are coming in right now. Sauteed on bacon fat, awesome. I think I’ll go out and pick up two and some bacon.
