BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Marylanders were going crabby over a PETA billboard in Baltimore that urged them to stop eating crabs, but Jimmy's Seafood has fired back with their own billboard.
The billboard from Jimmy's reads: "SteaMEd crabs. Here to stay. Get Famous."
Jimmy's has also taken on PETA on social media, changing the groups acronym to mean "People Eating Tasty Animal."
