[LINK] "Humane Society rescues lobster - yes, really"
The Toronto Star carried Nicole MacIntyre's Hamilton Spectator article reporting on a lobster's rescue from a St. Catherines parking lot.
(Myself, the idea of repatriating the lobster to the east coast makes some sense.)
The Lincoln County Humane Society is looking for a new home for a lobster - affectionately named Mickey - that was abandoned in a St. Catharines parking lot.
“No, it’s not a joke,” said executive director Kevin Strooband.
The society received a call Wednesday morning about a lobster that was found inside a box in a business parking lot off of St. David’s Road. An inspector responded, as the society does with all calls of animals in danger, and picked up the lonely crustacean that was likely bought at a grocery store.
The next stop was to buy a salt water tank, where Mickey is now happily bobbing.
Strooband suspects the lobster, whose claws were not banded, was likely part of an April fools prank, but he said that’s no way to treat a living thing. Now the humane society will ensure that Mickey find a safe place to live out his days, said Strooband. That means no pot or butter.
