PETA Wants to Memorialize Lobsters Who Died in Maine Truck Accident

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has asked Maine officials for permission to build a five-foot tombstone to memorialize the site of an August truck crash that left thousands of lobsters scattered on the highway.

PETA says it would like to remember the "countless sensitive crustaceans" killed in the Aug. 22 crash in Brunswick, Maine, USA Today reports. The truck contained 7,000 pounds of lobster and backed up traffic for hours after its contents spilled onto the road.

The driver of the truck suffered minor injuries after, according to police, the vehicle likely hydroplaned in bad weather.

Let them waste their $$$. They euthanize more animals a year than anyone ever thought. Look into it

PETA membership should be a mental health treatment needed indicator.

Perhaps in their next lives they'll be half as concerned about humans.

My wife and I just memorialized 2 lobsters each. They now have a comfy albeit temporary home in our stomachs.

PETA will next insist that there be roadside memorials on the Eastern Shore for every chicken that ever fell off a truck.
