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

    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 ?

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    If they admit that then they would have to admit we were top of some sort of hierarchical structure. A chain of some sort perhaps......

    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.

    Why doesn't a lobster like to share with his friends...







    Because he is shellfish.





    Bye bye
