Could there be a more pathetic life than that of a lobster? Just think about it? You’re scooped up from your environment, kept out of water for a little while, then placed back into a tank of water. As a lobster with minimal brain function, you think that it’s not so bad. “Hey, it’s a little crowded in here. It’s not like we had before but at least we’re all together! We’ll have to make the best of it until we’re outta here, but for now, could you move that claw over just a little? Okay everyone. He’s reaching in. We’re going to get outta here, or at least some of us will. Oh please, pick me, pick me! I really have to get outta here. Yes, yes, he picked me! What’s this? I’m being put into a plastic bag! Not to worry. It’s just my transportation back to the ocean. See ya later guys!”
