Best part: [spoiler:35qopw06]If you are a lobster, this has got to be one of the safest places, I told the bartender.

Do you know how hard it is to snag a stuffed animal in a claw machine? You can go through a whole roll of quarters and never get one.

"At a (seafood) restaurant, you point out which lobster (in the tank) you want, and that's it," bartender Robert Jefferson said. "This way, they have a sporting chance."[/spoiler:35qopw06]

Fucking hate Peta. They need to take a lesson from George Carlin when it comes to him talking about religion.

I liked this guy's attitude.
[spoiler:3u0fchlt]Despite PETA's agitating, McCann told me his Lobster Zone was still up and running. And now that PETA is on his case, he just might keep it.[/spoiler:3u0fchlt]

I hope they have one of these in SLC. I have a friend who loves claw machines and lobster.

[Metah]

PETA is annoying as shit. One of my best friends is a vegetarian and is all for animal rights, hell, I'd say most of us are for animals having a good life and whatever. But even he hates PETA, cause they're annoying assholes.

[Cephius]

PETA just has to realize there's a difference between a drunk old fart kicking his dog and starving it to death, and restaurant owners cooking a god damn lobster. Prevent cruelty to animals all you want, but can we lay off the humans who just like to eat meat?

[gandorf]

I don't think anyone likes PETA. A bunch of fucking morons that would rather see people starve then let them eat an animal.

Why not do the same game with dogs and cats? And don't try to stop someone from doing it with dogs and cats - it's their right to do what they want!

That's wrong, because it assumes, with no basis, that all other species were somehow just put here for our use. That's a form of prejudice - speciesism - by analogy with racism and sexism.

It wasn't long ago that whites thought blacks were put here for their use, and men thought women were put here for their use. We are all products of our time, and we have been taught to unthinkingly accept that all other species exist for our use.

What justifies speciesism more than racism or sexism?

lol@ the copy and paste

[archibaldcrane]

There is one of those at the bar "Happy Endings" on Sunset in Hollywood too.

Shit looks impossible, I bet those lobsters never get caught - I just wonder if they are fed and stuff because there's no way they get caught in time otherwise.

This is lulzy.

First of all, nothing was "put here." We evolved to the top of the food chain, so we can eat what we want. Why is it more acceptable for a Lion to tackle a sickly, old Gazelle and rip its throat out with its bare teeth, then proceed to feast on its bloody, reeking flesh right out in the open than it is for a human to stab a lobster in the head and boil it? That sir, is speciesism, by analogy with racism and sexism. We need to protest the Lions eating those poor, sickly, old gazelles with bad legs who fall behind the pack. Those horrible beasts! The things they do to them are absolutely horrific, what a wanton display of gore. Their culture of sick torture, stalking in the shadows, waiting for some innocent animal to fall behind in the pack and then ripping them apart has gone on long enough. Disgusting! Those Gazelles deserve humane treatment.

Goddamn PETAphiles.

What about the billions of insects that get drowned when rice paddy fields are flooded?

The lion will rip out the Gazelles throat if it is lucky. I have seen videos of the lions failing to kill their prey before starting to devour it from the ass end forward. There are many instances in the world where one animal eats another alive in what I imagine to be a very painful way.Life is not balanced nor does it care what anything else feels life only cares about preserving itself.
