TO THE EDITOR:
While I was scrolling through my Facebook feed, I saw a grotesque event being held by the UNC Computer Science club entitled: “UNC CS Takes Red Lobster Endless Shrimp!”
Now, I consider myself a decent man, not one quick to anger, but I am dismayed by the fact that they are indulging in such a beastly event as “endless shrimp.”
One person even went as far as to encourage people to RSVP soon so that Red Lobster could “have time to haul in extra shrimp.” Clearly this individual does not care that one third of that “haul” will be bycatch, such as our beloved endangered sea turtles.
If you even have the slightest appreciation for the environment and our world’s only oceans, let this shrimp affair be their last.
All I request is that you present my displeasure for this outlandish demonstration of environmental damage and gluttony.
