Fw: Victory: Raley's Stops Selling Live Lobsters!

[Guest guest]

Good news! I forwarded an alert yesterday about Raley's sale of live lobsters

in small plastic containers. After receiving many complaints, Raley's has

decided to stop selling live lobsters. If you were one of the many people who

complained to Raley's, thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After receiving thousands of e-mails and phone calls over the past two days,

grocery chain Raley's has stopped selling live lobsters in all 135 of its stores

across California, New Mexico, and Nevada. Raley's had previously been selling

live lobsters in small plastic containers in its stores, but today, after

hearing from an overwhelming number of concerned consumers, Raley's spokesperson

contacted PETA to say ...

 

" Raley's Family of Fine Stores offered live Maine lobsters to our customers for

three days during the holiday season. Raley's will not repeat this promotion or

offer live lobsters in any of its stores. "

 

With this decision, Raley's joins the ranks of other compassionate grocery

chains including Whole Foods and Safeway who have stopped selling live lobsters

altogether. Like all animals, lobsters feel pain and can suffer. In nature, they

form relationships with other animals and can live to be 100 years old. For more

information and fascinating facts, check out LobsterLib.com.

 

Thank you to all of you wonderful people who e-mailed and called Raley's to

voice your concerns. Because of you, countless lobsters will be saved from being

confined and sold, not to mention being boiled alive.

 

Sincerely,
