PETA's new resource center: built on the carcasses of defenseless--yet tasty--crustaceans.

PETA Slaughters Lobsters for Cookout

Apparently, some people find it offensive that live lobsters are thrown into a vat of boiling water where they are cooked alive.  This seemingly 'inhumane?' treatment of lobsters, and their torturous demise, led one Simon Buckhaven to develop the CrustaStun, a device which kills the lobster before cooking them.  The CrustaStun is a humane device, which electrocutes the lobster, which is apparently more humane.

The animal rights group PETA bought two of the lobster devices and paid for Mr. Buckhaven and his wife to fly to the Arizona event last Saturday to demonstrate the technology.

Unfortunately, the courier service lost the two machines and the animal rights people had to look the other way as volunteers killed hundreds of lobster in boiling water for hungry supporters of the resource centre.
