Some Of You May Have Heard About The Crab Claw Mac..

Some of you may have heard about the crab claw machine at a seafood restaurant in Punggol.

We received feedback on this practice a few days ago and filed a cruelty case with Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) for the serious welfare concerns.

We fully support the call to end this cruelty and urge everyone not to participate in such activities where live animals are treated as objects.

SAY NO TO LIVE CRAB CLAW MACHINE

A recent post by a local restaurant has been brought to our attention. In their claw machine, inanimate objects are replaced with live crabs for customers to lift and drop to ‘catch’ the crab(s) they want.

The game causes unnecessary harm to the animals and it also encourages people to see animals as nothing more than objects to play with and goes against our vision of a kinder society.

Crabs are living creatures, not toys. SPCA advises members of the public to not partake in such activities. We have reported this to AVS to ask them to shut this down.

To help raise awareness, please share this message with your friends and family.
