Hen House grocery stores in the Metro KC area hold lobsters on ice, selling them as 'LIVE LOBSTERS".
They tie them up with nylon wire ties, keep them in trays of ice, while the lobsters slowly suffocate.
The pitch the dead ones into the trash.
May have photos in a day or so.
Yeah, I know.
"They are ONLY lobsters!"
Well, lobsters are marine animals. Take them out of the water and they acnnot breathe.
Hen House does NOT use lobster tanks filled with water but only trays of live, bound lobsters stacked like cordwood.
Fred Ball, who is the de facto owner of both Hen House and Associated Wholsale Grocers (AWG) should be contacted about this.
I mean, if Hen House will treat animals in this manner, how might it treat you or your children?
