Philadelphia Restaurant Makes Compassionate Decision to Remove ‘Live Sashimi’ From Menu

April 2004

In April, PETA wrote to Philadelphia restaurant Morimoto, asking that it discontinue the practice of dismembering and serving live lobsters to customers (called “live sashimi”). After receiving our letter and considering the issue, Morimoto immediately took the item off all its menus. Please write a polite letter to the restaurant to thank the management for this compassionate decision:

Morimoto
723 Chestnut St.
Philadelphia, PA 19106

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
