Marylanders are getting a bit crabby over PETA’s new billboard campaign in Baltimore that’s trying to get people to stop eating the state’s crustaceans.
The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals put up a billboard near the Inner Harbor that is not getting the greatest response from those on social media.
On the billboard, it has a picture of a crab, along with the caption, “I’m ME, Not MEAT.” The billboard will be in place for the Baltimore Seafood Festival on September 15.[…]
Response to the billboard on social media has been mixed, with some Marylanders saying the people in this state will never stop eating crabs, that crab is king.
“It’s part of the city’s history, you know what I mean?” said Gerard Brown, a crab eater. “Without seafood, there is no Baltimore,” Brown said.
One person tweeted out a picture of the billboard with the following caption: “Siri, show me the biggest waste of advertising money you’ve ever seen.”
