Maine Lobstermen VS Whole Foods
Maine lobstermen are upset with Whole Foods, not because they stopped selling lobster in their stores last year because of animal rights concerns but because they're going to start selling them again in a soon-to-open Portland store. "Lobster groups were fine with the ban until the company announced that it will change its rules for Portland after finding a New Hampshire company with a more compassionate way to bring lobsters to retailers. "The suggestion is, they know how to do it better," said Kristen Millar, executive director of the Maine Lobster Promotion Council."

For a large company, Whole Foods is really blowing ths PR battle on this....lobsters are BUGS, and should be treated as such.....the funniest part of this whole thing, is that WF is going to 'humanely' kill the lobsters by electrocution! didn't we outlaw that for people? maybe a lethal injection of butter would be a better way to 'euthanize' these tasty crustaceans?
