“Larry the lobster just received a second lease on life. The lucky crustacean, estimated to be at least 80 years old, was purchased at a restaurant only to be released back into the ocean in honor of his incredible longevity. Don MacKenzie of Niantic, Connecticut, bought the 17-pound lobster because he just couldn’t stand to see the massive creature end up on someone’s dinner plate. “It takes seven years for him to even become a lobster big enough to keep,” MacKenzie said. ‘For a lobster to live this long and avoid lobster traps, nets, lobster pots… he doesn’t deserve a bib and butter.” w/ photos
