Considered a Boston institution, James Hook & Co., which is a lobster wholesaler, burned to the ground Friday morning in a seven alarm fire. James Hook & Co. has been a family owned business since 1925. It's currently owned by the fourth generation of Hooks. So, many people feel sad about this loss for the family and the city, no one seems to feel bad about the 60,000 lbs. of lobster destroyed in the fire! (Unless, of course, they are feeling sad that the price just went up due to this loss.)
The owners insist they will still do business and rebuild and the city intends to help them. Our tax dollars helping fund lobster genocide.
The business now ships 50,000 pounds of lobsters a day, according to its website. Can you even imagine? How many lobsters must die to generate 50,000 lbs? And this is just one company. This just blows my mind.
I think I'll go cry now.
