Good day all. When I saw this last week I almost choked on my lobster roll. PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Meals<\/i><\/span> Dinner<\/i><\/span> Animals wants to have the State of Maine erect a memorial to lobsters that were killed in a truck crash.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yes, once again, PETA is taking a dive into the deep end of the pool. Pity they forgot to fill it up first. Here are the details of their asinine demand from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) asked Maine officials on Wednesday for permission to build a large grave to mark the site of a truck crash that resulted in thousands of lobsters spilling out onto a highway. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PETA hopes to memorialize the \u201ccountless sensitive crustaceans\u201d who were killed during the Aug. 22 crash in Brunswick, the animal rights group said. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Police said 7,000 pounds of live lobsters were destroyed and it\u2019s suspected it was more than 4,500 lobsters that died, according to the Portland Press Herald<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n

Now that is what I call a crying shame. Just think of all the lobsters that I won\u2019t be dipping into melted butter!<\/p>\n

The grave would \u201cremind everyone that the best way to prevent such tragedies is to go vegan,\u201d the animal rights group said. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No, the best way to prevent such tragedies would be for the drivers to pay attention and be more careful.<\/p>\n

A mockup of the gravestone shows a lobster with the words, \u201cIn Memory of the Lobsters Who Suffered and Died at This Spot.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

Oh I can think of far better words. For instance, \u201cIn Memory of the payout by the insurance company for the loss of so many tasty dinners.\u201d<\/p>\n

PETA sparked controversy<\/a> last week when the group erected a billboard in Maryland encouraging people to \u201cgo vegan\u201d and stop eating crabs. <\/b><\/p>\n

I recall seeing that. It ended really well for them too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

PETA said the sign was put up as \u201cpart of a nationwide campaign to encourage diners to leave crabs and other sea animals off dinner plates and in their aquatic homes.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

No, I don\u2019t think so. I like lobster, usually steamed with fries, coleslaw and a cold beer. The former Mrs. Webmaster also likes a good lobster and loves crabs. I\u2019ve watcher her caring for them many times. She puts them into a nice bath, usually boiling, and then a short while later, helps them shed their shells, usually with a hammer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once again, PETA is proving that they only care about animals and outright hate people. On the other hand, many people like other people and love lobsters and crabs. They are always inviting them in for dinner, but sadly, they never seem to be around for dessert.<\/p>\n
