Imagine a game where you get to ‘toy’ with living creatures before eating them. This is the premise behind The Lobster Zone vending machine game found at various bars in the USA. Similar to children’s arcade games, people pay US$2 to swing a mechanical claw to grab at live lobsters and make their ‘meals more sporting’. According to PETA, the lobsters may be injured during the ‘grab’ before the customer finally manages to grab one to eat.
“The Game that is breaking all the rules and lets you catch your own meal,” explains The Lobster Zone company website. “The Machine and its lobster tank habitat is a newsmaker.”
The Lobster Zone vending machines have been making news after pressure from animals rights groups encouraged Lobster Zone vending machine owners at Kalahari Resorts and Doc Ryan’s to get rid of their machines.
