The lobsters arent receiving humane treatment after they are taken home? HMMMMM?? lets just see.. they spend countless days in a big tank at the grocery store with their claws banded shut. Where im sure they have a marine biologist checking the salinity and Ph daily, not just some migrant stocker-boy throwing salt in the tank every so often.
If anything they are more humane after they get home. At least they have a breif moment of freedom before being dropped in the pot.

pistolero, I believe you are being culturally insensitive. I would replace the Chinese man with a liberal.

The proper way to treat a lobster:

Dig a trench in the beach, about ten feet long by four feet wide, deep enough that the bottom is damp/wet. Build a bonfire in the trench and let it burn about halfway down. Cover coals with about a foot of semi-dry seaweed. Place lobster (and crab, and potatoes, corn-on-the-cob, etc.) on seaweed. Cover with another foot of seaweed, then peg down a tarp over everything. Go play volleyball for a half hour or so. Pull off the tarp and the top layer of seaweed and dig in!

Should I mention that I used to summer on the Maine seacoast? Bailey Island, off Brunswick, Maine. Thirty-five years ago, it was heaven on earth…

Look I am very humane to my lobsters. They don’t even have to walk, they are flown in from Eddy’s in a nice comfy box and I personally carry them over to the roiling boil cook pot. I am always glad to have them over for dinner.

Lobster Mexicana
Serves 4

2 1.5 LB Fresh Eddy Lobsters (see order page)
2 Tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup Green pepper, chopped
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 tsp Allspice
1/8 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
1/2 cup Light Cream
2 cups Cracker Crumbs
1/3 cup Butter, melted
Limes cut into wedges for garnish
Nachos for garnish

Cook and pick your lobsters. Mix the lobster meat, tomatoes and green peppers together. Pour into a long baking dish. Blend spices and cream. Pour 1/4 cup of the spiced cream over the lobster mixture. Mix the crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle over the lobster mixture and pour on the remaining cream. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Garnish with the limes and nachos. Serve with rice and salad.

Based on the prices I pay for food there i’d prefer to put women’s panties on my head or have a leash around my neck. It’d be less painful

If I then put a leash around a lobster is that humiliation?

I live near the Whole Foods mentioned in the Statesman.
Seems like mostly PETA types shop there anyway.
The same people that believe I should pay for other MIGRANT visitors medicare and anchor baby’s.
The people that sit on their butts and complain about everything.

I once bought a couple of live lobsters and then humiliated them after I brought them home by walking around in front of them dressed in men’s underwear.

This isn’t so absurd. I walk my pork loin back a forth a few times through a fine Mediterranian pork rub before grilling. Every time.

What doesn’t belong on this list?

Lobster
Clam
Chinese man hit by a bus
Shrimp

That’s right. The Clam. It’s a bivalve. The others are crustaceans.

That is, there’s a Whole Foods near me. Probably lobsters, too, but that’s not what I meant.

There’s one near me and nearly every parking spot in the lot is “compact”. My SUV doesn’t feel welcome there.

Here is food for thought – the Lobsters like you as much as you like them! (Yes, we are on their menu …)

HOLD YOUR &^**&87 HORSES!

With this logic, some day we have to completely stop butchering animals!

Give me my life lobsters! I promise to treat it humanely…I make sushi out of them.

Damn…eating soy beans and mushrooms every day????!

ONE MORE REASON TO TAKE BACK GOP NOW!

I usually force the lobsters to race each other. Loser into the pot. The faster survive until, of course, all the guests arrive. Then they all die!

Mwuhahahaha.

I see Whole Foods’ point… how can you expect to keep hallal meals, a Koran and a prayer mat under water?

Whole Foods = Whole Paycheck

The only people who can afford to shop there are trust fund hippies.
