PETA launches a lawsuit against Maine Lobster Festival for steaming 16,000 lobsters in Rockland, Maine, as “Can lobsters feel pain?” and “What are animal cruelty laws in Maine?” surge in searches. Festival organizers insist their cooking is “traditional, lawful and widely accepted,” while PETA prepares a performance art protest featuring a chef dragging a screaming human “lobster” to a giant pot, demanding festival-goers recall the Golden Rule.

Referencing PETA’s boiling-hot protest, the group argues that the festival commits “one of the most egregious violations of Maine’s animal protection statutes” by systematically steaming sentient crustaceans. Trending long-tail searches like “How does PETA protest animal cruelty?” and “Do lobsters scream when boiled?” spike as PETA plans a chef to theatrically scald a costumed human lobster, flipping the festival into a surreal seafood morality play. One organizer dryly notes there’s “no scientific evidence lobsters can feel pain.”

Today, as the festival opens, a chef will theatrically drag a shrieking human-lobster hybrid to a giant steamer, while 16,000 real crustaceans await their buttery, boiling destiny in Rockland’s Harbor Park.
