A friend called and said hey, you made the paper again! I anxiously searched for some interesting story about Sharks or the FWC and found this editorial. Laughed my ass off! Lobster Season no fun for them Re: “More divers set to hunt ‘bugs’,” Tuesday: I am sickened and appalled at the photo of a man holding live lobsters in the air destined for a cruel death. The lobster is a living animal, not merely “food.” Had they been kittens or puppies, would you have run such a shameful photo? We decry, rightfully, cruelty to dogs and some other animals, but applaud those who rip lobsters from their homes for the express purpose of slaughtering and eating them. Just because something is socially acceptable, that doesn’t make it right. I smell something cooking, and it’s called hypocrisy. When Randy Jordan refers to hunting, terrorizing and slaughtering innocent beings as a “big social event” that’s “a lot of fun,” it speaks to the disconnect humans have when it comes to the lives of individuals of other species. As the saying goes, humans are not the only species on earth — we just act like we are. There are many food options available that do not involve the suffering and death of animals.
