ROCKLAND, Maine — An animal rights group says it plans to hire an airplane to fly over the Lobster Festival here tomorrow that will carry a banner reading "Keep your paws off their claws: Try vegan."
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says the plane will circle the festival every 15 minutes starting at just after noon, until 2:30 p.m. on the event's opening day, to highlight the organizations belief that lobsters feel pain and fear, and are killed in gruesome ways for human consumption.
