(US) Don't feed the lobsters, activist in Canandaigua warned

[Animalconcerns Info]

(June 2, 2003) — CANANDAIGUA — Joel Freedman grew upset at seeing
lobsters, with rubber bands on their claws, piled atop one another in a
supermarket tank. The animal-rights advocate figured it was time to make
his anger known.

Freedman bought a pound of scallops and, before anyone could intervene,
lifted the tank lid and dumped them in.

Employees at the Wegmans store in Canandaigua quickly surrounded him,
sparking a heated exchange, Freedman said. He refused to leave, so the
police were summoned.
...
Freedman, a member of Animal Rights Advocates of Upstate New York, argued
that lobsters are inhumanely treated since they’re not fed and are often
crowded into supermarket tanks.
