Bureauweenies Act to Protect Crabs from Stress
In accordance with their philosophy of letting no activity go unregulated, British bureauweenies have wasted £200 on leaflets instructing kids on how crabbing must be performed.
The authorities have determined the maximum number of crabs that can be put in a bucket, how often the water in the bucket must be changed, where the bucket must be placed, et cetera. The 10,000 leaflets were printed after pointy-headed experts at Cambridge University declared that being overcrowded in buckets could cause crabs stress.
Excessive regulation causes stress too, but it remains the one thing bureauweenies can be counted on not to prohibit.

On a tip from Lyle.

The reason silly liberals are so worried about crabs is cuz they all have them.

They should declare their pubic areas "wildlife refuges".

Why don't they just ban it and get it over with. And get those kids into some kind of compulsory reeducation camp so they learn to stop picking on crabs and stuff. Call it "The Young Green Pioneers" or "The Gaia Youth".

It's seems that it's the government's job to take the fun out of living.

Being yanked out of your home causes stress.
Being put in a crowded bucket causes stress.
All that is true.
Being boiled alive causes stress unto death.
There is no stress to the dead crab from what follows. YUMM!
People
Eating
Tasty
Animals

Speaking of PETA
But who would have thought that some so-called animal rights groups would end up promoting animal cruelty?

Lefties apparently think The Little Mermaid was a documentary and that crustaceans really do spend their time underwater playing calypso music and hanging out with SpongeBob Squarepants.
