Ancient Lobster
I don't know if I'd go as far as to call lobsters "intriguing" creatures...but their biology is pretty darn cool.
Also - two bucks says the stress of capture, storage, and release kills the old fellow anyway...:(

Can't eat 'em. They look like big red cockroaches to me.

I am really happy they are going to free George back to waters. Good for that restuarant.

many years ago I worked on an uncles lobster boat for 2 summers. The idea of eating those things makes me queasy! I've seen what some were noshing on when pulled up. they dont call the cockroaches of the sea just because of their looks! YUKKKKKKKKK

Peta can be a real P.I.T.A. but I'm glad the restaurant chose to let the lobster go. I think everybody wins here. Especially the lobster.
