I know exactly how you feel seeing those lobsters. My heart breaks every time I see this or similar situations in which animals are locked up. I wonder if I'm the only one feeling it, and why others around me don't. I wish humans showed more empathy. When I feel sad like you, I hug my dog very hard and think about what a good life he has. It doesn't matter if it's a downer post...the world is not all rosy and people have to know =)
