Chris Johnson strikes the perfect tone, I think, in responding to the latest round of utter insanity to emerge from the animal rights organization.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has sent a proposal to the Somerset County commissioners to lease their jail for the world’s first Lobster Empathy Center.

What exactly is a Lobster Empathy Center?

“A prison is the perfect setting to demonstrate how lobsters suffer when they are caught in traps or confined to cramped, filthy supermarket tanks,” PETA wrote in a June 2 letter to the commissioners. “The center will teach visitors to have compassion for these interesting, sensitive animals while also commemorating the millions of lobsters who are ripped from their homes in the ocean off the coast of Maine each year before being boiled alive.”

…Sounds like a wonderful family vacation. Be kinda like that “Dodge the Scissahs” ride at the Fetus Empathy Centah over t’ Wahtahville.

“Mainers have been dragging lobsters from their ocean homes for generations,” said PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. “It’s time for them to learn that these fascinating animals deserve more than being treated as mere commodities.”

I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that Ms. Newkirk would dare dream, for any fraction of a second, to protest the way in which Planned Parenthood clinics, and other abortionists, drag unborn infants from their uterine homes, nor would she ever assert that it’s time for people to learn that these fascinating young humans deserve more than being treated as mere commodities.
