A big thumbs up to MATC students for forming Students for Animals at the MATC campus.This student chapter of AFA meets Sundays at 4:00 at Mother Fools Coffee Shop. This group has plenty of ideas and energy and we look forward to working with them throughout the school year. Check out their facebook page here.

Jenifer Street Market has a live lobster tank.
We encourage compassionate Madisonians who find boiling live lobsters abhorrent to politely mention this to the managers and/or staff during your next visit. 

Lobsters kept in tanks suffer from stress associated with confinement, low oxygen levels, and overcrowding. Additionally, these sea animals do not have automated nervous systems to put them into a state of shock when they are harmed. Therefore, marine biologists theorize that they feel every second of pain inflicted upon them before their death.

We urge you to let Jenifer Street Market know, by phone, mail, or in person that you are saddened by the sight of lobsters in a tank and will not give them your business until they remove the tank.
