Free the lobster ..

FluffyAngel

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

Yea, and you don't have to boil lobsters alive either.

I've been campaigning tirelessly to free the Mazda 6.

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

Crusties Commandeer Crustaceans in Crushing Blow to Cruel Canton Cuisine

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

Atlantic Dawn

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.

Am I the only one who would have doubts about ordering lobster from a Chinese?

God damn hippies, love to boil them alive.

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.

mickydoomsux

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.

MarkAnthony

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

Also Clontarf? Posh feckers.

Duggy747

I'd free minks.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?....

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

Especially put back with their claws all tied up.

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.
Lot of work for little return.

Moe: Bring us your finest food, stuffed with your second-finest.

Waiter: Very well, the lobster stuffed with tacos.

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.

That's not very fair: lobsters deserve our respect too! I just saw the news there and they seem dedicated to their cause.

darkpagandeath

These people do know how nature works right ? We are the dominant apex predator that eats pretty much everything below it just like every other apex predator. Animals do no have human feeling or human emotions guess who has them ?

Just not dedicated enough to buy and release them.

Bunch of idiots, i swear some people in the western world are becoming more tree hugging lunatics everyday, a swift kick up the arse and a clip around the ears they would want.

These guys are as bad as the lads who took down the no campaign posters.


Couple of problems here:

1) Its not a lobsters natural habitat (where they were dumped)
2) Are these a native species or have they just introduced an invasive species to our waters

I would say Jeremy Clarksons dream come true, think of all his column inches he could fill on that alone.

These 'activists' are a bunch of morons. Releasing a foreign species into the local ecosystem without a jot of consideration for the consequences. Total twats, but hey, they achieved their true objective of getting on tv.

Yeah makes as much sense as them lot walking on an active international runway. Having no idea if they dropped anything and saying we did tell them we were on the runway... Told who ???

Gwynplaine

When I heard it today on the radio, I had and image in my mind of 3 or 4 crusty greasers, then I saw it on the news, and my vision was true.

Or the 2 unwashed politicians trespassing on a runway and demanding to inspect military aircraft. If they'd been in America they'd have been shot on sight. Here they get a few high profile court appearances, at taxpayer expense. They won't be spending any of their taxpayer funded salaries paying the legal costs of their actions though.

TallGlass

So the Eco Warriors might just have committed Eco Terrorism should them lobsters survive and go on to invade. Dublin Bay Prawn is a pretty big thing world wide.

I am also pretty sure Lobsters themselves eat there pray alive.

Yeah, What were they actually thinking under what law or legislation did they think TD's can walk around the place demanding things ? They know Garda have to get warrants for example ? Seems fairly self important thinking you can demand access to private property to inspect at your own leisure.

Aye They seem to deem humans as not being part of nature somehow.

It was a very successful operation. They got on the Six O'Clock News.
