Скачать или смотреть PETA Warns That Hermit Crabs Are Complex Animals

ne of the most popular souvenirs to take away from the Jersey Shore is the hermit crab! Walking down the boardwalk you see hundreds of colorful shells just hanging out in cages and they seem like the best choice for a first time pet.

The local shops seem to sell everything you would need to keep the little crab happy and healthy, but that isn't always the case.

In fact, PETA recently came out to say that it's a much better idea to take home a commemorative t-shirt instead of a hermit crab!

PETA spokesperson Laura Cascada says that hermit crabs are much more complex creatures than people think.

“These are much more complex animals with very complicated needs. They're not starter pets that any kid can just automatically know what to do with,” she said.

However, ask kids like Declan and Vivian Sheehan and they'll tell you why they love their hermit crab pets.

“I like having a hermit crab because they're fun pets to have,” Declan said.
