A cafe in Beijing has hired teenage girls to walk crabs outside in a promotional stunt to draw awareness of its seafood menu. The stunt was orchestrated by the exact same artist who developed a task earlier this year that involved apparent cabbage-walking. Crab activists have stated that the Pirate King's advertising effort it cruel, however the restaurant is happy for all the attention the promotion has been drawing.
“It was a lot of fun, and now everybody knows our name, and I don’t care about the few people that complained that the crabs were suffering,” restaurant manager Peng Mai told Orange.
“What I can say is they didn’t suffer long, because after they were brought back to the restaurant they had a quick wash, and then went straight in the cooking pot.”
