Those animal rights chaps agree,
That shellfish belong in the sea,
They’re not ours to dine,
On so thank God that nine,
Of our lobster friends now can swim free.

Everything. As It Happens.
What’s their beef with eating animals? I’m sure if they were to meat one of us carnivores, they’d know there was nothing fishy about us – I’d steak my reputation on it. What’s next, an early prawn raid at a farm?
Prawns, in a farm ?
Prawn raid by the long arm of the claw.
Loads of them in District 9
it was very shelfish of them IMO
Crustaceans once again?
Laura Broxson is a bit attractive
Liberated apart from their claws being still tied.
When they get over their little rebellions against their wealthy upbringing, these animal rights idiots will be all married and living in Dublin 4 within 10 years, all scoffing down lobster and foie gras.
That’s what I thought so forwarded to the end of the vid, they remove the clips.
I say fair play to them, hate seeing live lobsters in restaurants so avoid any that do.
Dead ones are ok though?
Who helps the lickle fishies the lobster eat?
Are these actually an animal rights group or some bunch of feckin’ dumbass vegans?
That wasn’t meant for there :)
consider the lobster http://animalrightskorea.org/essays/david-foster-wallace-consider-the-lobster.html

Where were the restaurant owners when they were taking the lobsters?
Unless they were caught in that precise spot in Clontarf which I doubt, it could cause all manner of problems for the local lobster.
Foreign lobsters coming here…. taking our food.
Actually it’s a good point. A foolish thing to do and could potentially ruin the local ecology.
And they will probably die fairly sharpishly as the area the left them (long shalllow beach) will be too high in fresh water
Campaigning directly for the welfare of animals in enclosures through the law and government would be the more beneficial route for these activists.
These actions only marginaise their view and cause.
Just liberated a bunch of cows onto the M50 there
Good man Jimmy!
I had to bite my lip after reading that :)
When’s the next ‘Born Free’ moment happening… there’s a farm in Wicklow with bison on it… and ostriches too…
Ah here I’m all for animals rights, but “liberating” half a dozen lobsters from a small restaurant is ridiculous. A small business getting blamed for a massive international industry.
If you dont like em, dont eat em (I never, ever have)

Don’t kid yourself Jimmy, if a cow ever got the chance he’d eat you and everyone you cared about!
Pull the udder one…
Love the clenched fist and paw raised in solidarity at the start. Has to be a good Paths to Freedom style mini-series in this.
Their black banner looks a bit like an ISIS banner as well. They should head over to Syria to enquer about a collaboration
Similar characteristics.. outcast virgins
They are also making the leap that the Lobsters are boiled alive, most chefs briefly stick a lobster in the freezer or stick a sharp knife though its brain, not me though I cool em alive and I can assure they die in about a second.
They don’t even have a nervous system/pain receptors remotely close to mammals
When they came for the lobsters I did not speak up
My mouth was full mmm nom nom lobster
Beyond parody
What a load of Pollocks…
Idiots – the lobsters would have either drowned on the mud flats in Clontarf or been pecked alive by seagulls – its not there natural surround. deep water off Howth might have given them a slight chance to survive.
Thankfully you all covered your faces in the video when you decided to steal from the restaurant.
there was a grey seal out there the other evening. he’s gonna be on cloud nine when he finds them.
Haha he prefers mackerel
No pain where you’re going, Pinchy.
Half the group distracted the staff while the other half liberated the seafood in well planned pincer movement.
That Red haired guy used to protest outside labs in TCD. On Tuesdays and school holidays, looks like he’s progressed in his tactics since leaving school. Fairly stupid recording that, surely the EPA would have grounds to investigate, if they are an alien species, that is?
Ha I’d like to see them stick their hands in that tank if the lobsters didn’t have bands on their claws. Muppets.
Lobsters live on sea beds and rocky harbours sometimes but definitely not in muddy shallow water.
No comments about the way they stole the lobsters from the restaurant but they could at least do some research before releasing them back to the “sea”.
If they really wanted to save them, they should have done it properly.
Their action doesn’t show how much they care about animal rights but instead it shows how childish and lack of planning these people are.
It seems to me that they are just a group of kids who are ignorant about animal care but wanted to do something to prove to their own selves that they are better than the others.
