I couldn't believe my eyes as I read the Morsels headline ``Wounding lobster on TV brings outcry,'' about a chef on the ``Today'' show who pulled the claws off a live lobster. The studio received hundreds of calls and protesters in front of the studio stating that lobsters have feelings even though we like to fool ourselves and think they do not.
Come on! Is this the same society that watches TV shows where men's brains get blown out and violence is said to be entertainment; the same society where babies are sucked out of the mother's womb and called a woman's right to choose?
I'm sorry, but I can't feel any compassion for a lobster!
