Peta slaughters lobsters in-front of hungry crowd
I was just pointed to this article which I though was hilarious enough to share here:
http://www.mizozo.com/weird/11/2009/...r-cookout.html No offence to any vegans, vegetarians or anyone who happens to be a member of Peta with half a brain (half a brain is a start at least) but this to me is just another amusing reminder of how Peta may just be the most hypocritical animal rights group in existance. |

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with eating meat.
Shame about the lobsters though. They could have made a wonderful meal. |

Well, all I can say is that If I had a choice between getting boiled alive and getting electrocuted, I would start looking for the nearest outlet.
If the lobsters were all boiled because the CrustaStuns didn't get there, though, then everybody who ate them after they were boiled instead of just leaving is indeed a hypocrite IMO.

With all the real problems in the world, it's good to see Peta fighting to kill lobsters.

Actually this struck me as marginally less silly than most of PETA's nonsense.
At least, they're trying to propose a workable alternative to boiling lobsters alive as opposed to, say, simply demanding the practice stop. Which is nowhere near as dumb as the "sea kittens" campaign.

Basically they asked the question "Would you eat a kitten? No? Then why are you willing to eat fish?" And they suggested calling fish "sea kittens" because that would supposedly make people more reluctant to eat them. Stephen Colbert did a bit about this where he decided that this meant he could start calling kittens "land fish" and eat them.
