Sounds like a lot of good reading going on in Bangor, Maine. Can I get off topic for just a moment – Does the state of Maine have so much lobster that they make pet foot out of some of it? I enjoy reading your posts.
That’s an interesting question. I’ve never heard of lobster in pet food. Can’t imagine it would be good for them.
