Man, that guy knows how to pull a scam!

Holy shit... I might have to do something like that. Well, maybe not. I don't think it's in me.

I hope he's not. I'm not against people hunting etc, but to eat Toby for that reason isn't right. Also isn't right him tugging at peoples heart strings to get money.. but if they choose to send him money that's on them.

I use to raise rabbits.

Toby's adorable.

" In 1985, a 25-pound lobster that the New England Aquarium planned to give to a Tokyo museum died when the water temperature rose and the salt dropped in its aquarium. In 1990, a 17 1/2-pound lobster named Mimi died just days after being flown to a restaurant in Detroit. Last year, a 14-pound lobster named Hercules that was rescued by a Washington state middle school class died before it could be released off the coast of Maine "

I didn't know lobsters grew to be that heavy.. 25lbs thats a big ass lobster lol

Not only is it big, but likely to be too tough to want to eat anyway.

And yes, they do grow that big -- the New York Aquarium has quite a large specimen that is, I believe, over 20 years old -- but I can't swear to it.

That’s a lot of lobster thermadore or lobster salad or both. Remember when Rush Limbaugh “rescued” a big lobster. Had a restaurant fix it for him. With so many big lobsters dying in transit it would be more humane just to get it over with and eat them. Yummy, yummy! :D

Whales and Dolphins are two species of sea mammal that should *not* be killed. That's about my only beef with the Japanese. Well, that, and their extremely repetative "stories" on their video games.

Alas even some of their stories in hentai games are repetitive. :(
