Lobsters’ brains are the size of a pea or smaller, but at least they are brighter than some of the animal rights kooks who have taken up their cause. The inaptly named activist Emma Smart tried to rescue a lobster from the Catch at the Old Fish Market in Dorset, England by stealing it and casting it to its doom in a nearby harbor. People reports that the lobster left behind a friend:

The restaurant’s owner and manager, Anthony Cooper, spoke to LBC in April and explained that the restaurant kept two lobsters in a tank near the front of the establishment. The pair, named Reggie and Ronnie, were pets that had lived in the tank for about 2½ years for “educational purposes” for children. …

Cooper noted that the lobsters were used to warmer water in the tank, so the harbor’s chilly waters were likely fatal. … He also added that the remaining lobster died shortly after the incident, because of stress and loneliness.

The criminal’s punishment consisted of an 8-month conditional discharge and a restraining order forbidding her from coming near the restaurant for a while. That is, there was no punishment.

Liberal women are the worst.
This retard steals a lobster which was on display, "liberates it" by putting it in the harbour which killed it due to temp change. The other lobster in the tank subsequently died too. pic.twitter.com/YpoYkiTrwB
