OK, I dont know if this is the right forum to post this in but I couldn't decide where else it would go, so here it is!

The other day I was out eating in my (formerly) favorite restaurant and I noticed that over in the corner, they had a claw machine so you could put in $2 and try to catch your own lobster and I am assuming they would cook it for you.

It was one of those machines with the stuffed animals in it, when you try to get the claw to grab a stuffed animal. Well yea, same thing but instead of stuffed animals, they had lobsters in a tub of water!! Some even had $5 and $10 rubber banded to there claws!!

Does anyone else think that this is cruel to the lobsters or is it just me, I dont even think that they would be able to have such a thing in there restaurant!!

what could be more cruel than tossing it into a pot of boiling water and eating it? PETA people need to lighten up. lobsters are food not pets.

I am not some hippy "save the whales" person, but I do think that is kinda messed up to put them in there for some kinda game. Dont you think that there is a chance that the lobster could be damaged by the claws (eyes poked out etc.) and it not be caught?
