Lobster Liberation Makes the News

I was always intrigued and amused by the lobster liberations taking place at the Kurukulla Center for Tibetan Buddhist Studies in Medford, MA.

Recently, Reuters did an article on a recent outing, which was followed by pieces in several other news outlets, including New England Cable News (see below):

Some Gloucester Fishermen made a Youtube Video spoofing themselves catching the lobster that the buddhists had just liberated. The Buddhists, interviewed after, insisted they weren’t angry: “being angry won’t help the lobster, and it won’t help us, and it won’t help them. They were all destined to be sold to restaurants and to be killed very violently, so any prolonging of their life is of benefit . . . ”
