    So the lobsters are free .. Animal rights activists freed the blue cousins from the hungry belly of Dublin folk

    And put them back into the sea at clontarf, where no doubt the hungry Dublin seals got a hold of some of them..

    So good folk of after hours , what would you set free given the choice ?

    We're they right or wrong to "steal" the lobby lobsters?

    I see the right in what they done , but to be fair they got it ooh so wrong , where will this end ? Cows freed from milking sheds , lambs hidden in forests , foxes liberated from surburan areas

    Its theft, pure and simple. Also, they should of used the water in the lobster tank to have themselves a shower.

    I see the lobsters are all wearing those Lance Armstrong rubber charity bands for cancer awareness.

    Why didn't they raise the cash and buy them, would have been a better look at me I am brilliant campaign for them. Instead they appear as nothing but common thieves and have released lobsters which they do not know the origin of in to the ecosystem risking damage to the Irish lobster population.

    That's harsh.

    They're just ordinary people with a passion for animal rights.

    Hit them with a hammer?

    I don't see why people think that being eaten alive is a better way to go? For all these people knew those lobsters died of shock 5 minutes after being taken from a nice warm tank and put into the cold ocean. But it's the point that matters, and being able to tell all your friends that you're a hero to lobsters everywhere rather than actually looking after the welfare of the animals.

    Not at all, not sure I'd be looking to order a lobster kung pao myself. Those lobsters probably would have survived longer in that tank than the would in the sea.

    I love that it took the combined might of three separate crusty organizations to steal 9 ****ing lobsters and more than likely kill them much quicker than they would have died anyway.

    Good job.

    I'd been more impressed if they'd liberated them with the claws not banded shut.

    Also Clontarf? Posh feckers.

    Suburbia was rural countryside and home to the foxes, before it became suburbia.

    It's like PETA killing the pet dogs, because it's less cruel


    Some people need better hobbies

    Here's a picture of what those dogs end up like

    Lobster is over rated anyway.

    Charles Manson. Genuinely. A man more sinned against than sinning (... well let's call it a draw). And tbh I don't buy for a second the 'oh we were innocent victim children led astray' act by the ladies and gentleman that actually committed the crimes he's banged up for. Bit of a wacko, fair cop. But I think he's suffered enough, and if released he'd be on his way and try to live out the rest of his life in a little spot somewhere in peace away from the fvcking lot of everyone.
