A Game called the Lobster Zone

I stopped in a 'sports' bar last night with a group of friends. Among the many games was a machine called Lobster Zone. It was a tank full of lobsters; the 'gamer' puts in money & attempts to catch a live lobster with a big claw. It was exactly like those games you see in Chucky Cheese's with stuffed animals and toys.
I was apalled that such a game would be allowed as it seemed barbaric to use living creatures in such a manner.
I'm sure everyone is thinking "It's only a lobster! They'd be eaten anyway!" Well, all I could think of is that what if they put puppies or kittens or birds in there?
I am still disturbed after a night of sleep & am planning to contact the owner of that bar & express my disgust over this.
And, if that doesn't get me anywhere, I'll take it farther.
What do you think?

Omg

what bar is this? Where is it? In Chicago. I remember seeing a game like this in Chinatown somewhere and in Guatemala. I am also appalled but when you think about it a lot of people boil lobsters alive like in Julie & Julia. Put for amusement, I dont think so. If its in the Chicago area, let me know because I will call them as well.

These poor live lobsters were

These poor live lobsters were being picked up by their claws & then dropped-it looked like a torture chamber.
