VIDEO: Lobsters liberated from Dublin restaurant by animal rights activists

Nine lobsters have been liberated from a Dublin restaurant in a daring weekend sting by animal rights activists.

Members of the National Animal Rights Association (NARA), Direct Action For Animals, and Alliance For Animal Rights swooped on the Ka Shing Chinese restaurant as busy Friday trade got under way about 7.30pm.

A number of the activists fished the lobsters out of the tank at the entrance to the Wicklow St premises before putting them into bags and quickly exiting the restaurant.
