“It’s Not Seafood, It’s Sea LIFE!”
Eye-catching art demo as activists brave the cold and strip down to expose the horrors inflicted on sea life at sea’food’ festival! Demonstrators ask festival-goers to “Try to relate to WHO is on your plate.” Dani Rukin reports for #JaneUnChained. According to PETA, lobsters and crabs feel pain, possibly even more-so than mammals since they cannot go into shock after experiencing severe trauma. Like chickens and turkeys, they are exempt from even the meager “humane” slaughter laws that cover cows and pigs. At the slaughterhouse, it is standard practice to rip their bodies apart and boil or steam them alive. More information about lobster and crab slaughterhouse investigations, including footage from as recently as 2018 can be found on PETA’s website. Festival organizers are invited on any time to respond.
