The Lobster Zone is a cruel "game" that can be found in some bars and restaurants. The arcade-style contraption allows patrons to pluck a lobster out of a machine using a joystick-controlled crane with an attached claw. Once caught, the lobster is dropped down a chute, boiled or cut up while still alive, and then eaten. But like all animals, lobsters can feel pain, and they suffer when they are injured, cut, or boiled alive.
PETA has recently received several calls from patrons of Walk-On's in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who were horrified upon seeing a Lobster Zone machine in the bar. Our callers reported seeing lobsters languishing in a tank and trying to flee as they were repeatedly chased by the metal claw.Please contact Brandon Landry, Walk-On's owner, and remind him that living beings must not be treated as if they were cheap boardwalk-game trinkets. Implore him to remove this cruel contraption from Walk-On's for good.If you see a Lobster Zone machine or a similar device in another business, please politely ask the owner to remove it immediately.Walk-On'sBrandon LandryOwner3838 Burbank Dr.Baton Rouge, LA 70820225-757-8010http://walk-ons.com/content.cfm?id=64 (online comment form)
