REMOVE THE TANK WITH SUFFERING CRUSTACEANS IN CORNELSCOURT DUNNES STORES.

Crustaceans have a complex central nervous system and their behaviour shows that they feel pain.

Dunnes Stores in Cornelscourt have recently added a LOBSTER TANK to their Grocery Section and they sell Live lobsters which are held in tanks with no viseable food and they will be butchered alive either by the customer or the fishmonger  section staff. Many employees are opposed to the tank and it's obvious controversial status and we have been told many complaints have been received by Dunnes. A manager i complaineed to there hung up on me when I rang , (great public training he has).

"Scientists say that there is no dispute that [lobsters] have brains and nerve endings and feel pain like other animals. [They should not be] stewing in their own excrement before being boiled alive."The treatment of lobsters is of particular concern as they are typically cooked alive in boiling water. The animals struggle violently during this process. Crabs and lobsters can also suffer during transportation and storage in overcrowded conditions, with lobsters often having their claws bound together with plastic bands. Many lobsters get open wounds and injuries between capture at sea and arrival at the processing plant."
