<b>This is really sick:</b> Raley's—a California-based supermarket chain with more than 135 stores—has started selling live lobsters in plastic containers (like Tupperware) that are barely larger than the lobsters' bodies. The lobsters don't get any water to live in, and they receive no food at all until they are sold or die (according to one Raley's store manager, lobsters in the containers usually die in a matter of days). Like all animals, lobsters feel pain and can suffer. <a target="_blank" href="http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/p2raleyslobsters?c=918">Click here</a> to use peta2’s online form to send an e-mail to Raley’s, asking the company to follow in the compassionate footsteps of Whole Foods and Safeway by ending the sale of live lobsters at its stores.<br><br><center><a target="_blank" href="http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/p2raleyslobsters?c=918"><img border="0" src="http://blog.peta2.com/raleys-but.PNG"></a></center>

Yeah, they always treat animals that are about to be used as food with little care or none at all. I've seen supermarkets selling large turtles about 1ft. by 1ft. large in little cardboard boxes with no food or water. There's not much we can do to help, but I guess we could email or talk to individual stores.
