Things are off to a good start this year! How, you ask? In a previous post your friendly neighborhood lobster was discussed, and the fine folks at PETA and City Crab have decided that it was proof enough to let George, the crustacean on your right, to go free.
Actually, the post had absolutely no bearing, but City Crab made the wonderful gesture to release George into the old lobster home. Specifically Kennebunkport, ME where he shall live out the rest of his days doing...nothing. The town in which he's headed to today has outlawed lobster fishing, so he's more or less guaranteed peace.
George has been estimated to be 140 years old and weighs in at over 20 pounds. He would've faced imminent doom for $100 (plus 8.75% tax). This blog thanks the crazy people at PETA as well as profusely thanking the folks at City Crab for doing the right thing. Now of course if they could just do the right thing for all the lobsters there...
p.s. - just how big is George? Check out this photo of a fisherman releasing him into the wild:
