Episode Details

Emma Smart, a marine biologist and animal rights activist, stormed into a seafood restaurant in Weymouth, Dorset, last April, snatching a lobster from its tank and setting it free. The lobster was not on the menu and was actually a pet of the restaurant owner, Anthony Cooper, kept for educational purposes. Smart was charged with criminal damage and given an eight-month conditional discharge and a three-year restraining order. The incident highlights the clash between good intentions and reality in animal rights activism.
