Not worth the entrance fee, or the five minutes it take to view everything!
National Lobster Hatchery的点评
点评:This was a complete rip off! I was expecting to see a large number of lobsters in different stages of development, instead I saw a total of 5 full size lobsters, all of which were kept in tiny little tanks that reminded me more of a tank in a restaurant than a sanctuary. There were a few tanks for baby lobsters(completely empty!), and there was one display showing several tadpole size lobsters. Everything else in the hatchery was just like a free display in a public library, plus a film; the viewing area was so tiny that very few people could get close enough to watch it, ironically a few people were watching youtube videos of lobsters on their phones whilst waiting! I don't think the hatchery is concerned with lobster welfare, one of the facts on display was "lobsters are only red when cooked", and it seems hypocritical, them trying to release thousands of lobsters back into the wild, when 200 yards outside the entrance there are 15 boats loaded with lobster traps ready to go and catch them, 200 yards in the other direction is Rick Stein's cookery school where you can learn how to cook them! My advice, donate the £9 to an animal welfare charity.
翻译:这完全就是骗钱!我原以为会看到大量处于不同发育阶段的龙虾,结果只看到了5只体型正常的龙虾,而且它们都被关在极小的鱼缸里——那些鱼缸看起来更像是餐馆里的饲养缸,而非保护中心。还有几个用来养小龙虾的鱼缸(里面空空如也!),另有一个展示区展示了几只仅有蝌蚪大小的龙虾。孵化场里的其他一切,就跟公共图书馆里的免费展览没什么两样。除了放映影片外,观看区小得可怜,几乎没人能凑近去看。具有讽刺意味的是,有不少人在等待时还用手机观看关于龙虾的YouTube视频呢!我觉得这家孵化场并不关心龙虾的福利——现场展示的信息中有一条是“龙虾只有在被煮熟后才会变红”,他们试图将成千上万只龙虾放归野外,这种行为在我看来实在是虚伪至极。在入口处往外200码的地方,有15艘载满龙虾笼的船只正准备出发去捕捞龙虾;而朝另一个方向走200码,就能到达里克·斯坦的烹饪学校,在那里你可以学习如何烹饪龙虾!我的建议是:把这9英镑捐给某个动物福利慈善机构吧。
