#1 Lobsters aren't stuffed animals," said William Rivas-Rivas, spokesman for PETA.

Usual suspects.

Of course they aren't stuffed when they are alive, but you can make dandy a lobster stuffing once they are cooked.

#3 How can you demean a lobster?

Announce that it has crabs?

#6 Cruel and unusual lobstering = Throwing out any edible leftovers.

To quote a Maine lobsterman, "If the roles were reversed don't think that a lobster would hesitate for once second to make dinner out of you." He||, these cockroaches-of-the-sea eat each other, fer criminey sakes!

Oh, and for accuracy's sake, lobsters can too be stuffed animals. Merely split the tail and liberally apply a mirepoix of shallots, chives and diced yellow tomato sauteed in butter. Broil for 15 minutes. YUM!

How can you demean a lobster?

Point at his nether regions and say he's shrimpy!

#10 It's a pretty far stretch to call a lobster an "animal" - it's more like "giant sea insect".

And I'm rather surprised to see this - I saw a claw machine, only with live crabs instead of stuffed animals, in Kabukicho in Japan. Picture here. Note the video feed from a camera mounted on the claw, as well as some plastic bags for use should you actually bag one.

Wierd, just wierd. And this was in an otherwise mundane arcade.

#11 gromky - you got it. Actually the closest land relative of the lobster is the scorpion. Stomp or be stung!
