OH, THE HUMANITY

I was about to post making fun of Pamela Anderson for her anti-fur activism, and Whole Foods for their initiative to make the lives of live lobsters more humane from the sea to the shopping cart.

Then I read this instruction: to kill a lobster for broiling or grilling, place it belly-down and insert a knife tip at the junction of the body and tail shells. Cut the body in half lengthwise, remove the stomach and black intestinal vein, and crack the claws. Rinse the lobster well.

No kidding. Hacking the living animal in half will kill it? Do you think? I hope they don't tell you how to slaughter sheep. I think it might read something like this: tie sheep to middle of road. Hit with car. Clean well. Cook.

Maybe they are on to a little something, just not as much as they think...

By the way, although no animals were harmed in the making of this entry, I did come across this fascinating scam obviously designed to get women trying to look sleazy in pleather to send you pictures of themselves.
