Sideshow Atlanta

On Thursday December 4, 2008 about 20 activists gathered outside of the corporate headquarters of Home Depot on Paces Ferry Road in Atlanta to boil crabs in protest of Home Depot’s use of cypress tress in mulch that they produce. The activists said that the crabs they brought to boil at the demonstration represented the Gulf environment they were trying to protect. Several dozen crabs were boiled to death and eaten to protest against the destruction of the crabs environment. According to the demonstrators some of the cypress tress that Home Depot uses in their mulch could live for thousands of years if they were not cut down to use as garden mulch.
