[Guest guest]

This is the response I received from the restaurant that is cutting up live

lobsters and causing them excruiating pain to make sushi. (along with my

response to them). I do believe that your emails can make a difference in this

barbaric practice. PLEASE take just one minute to write to the email address

noted below.

> Can you please tell me why the lobster can't be humanely killed and then

> cut? Why does the lobster have to suffer a horridly painful death to make

sushi.

> I have no problems with killing anything for food (i.e. I am not a fanatic)

> if done humanely and painlessly. It is the right way to do things.

>

> I hope that your practice will undergo a revision so that demonstrations by

> animals right's groups will not be necessary. There are laws against animal

> cruelty in NYC and other parts of the country.

>

> I trust that you will inform me and others as to a more humane manner on

> preparing your sushi.

> By the way, when any living creatures suffers pain and stress there is a

> chemical that is released into the body. It is not healthy for people to eat

> anything that contains that chemical. The lobster would definitely taste

> better were it killed without that chemical being released.
