140-year-old Lobster granted pardon
PETA and City Crab and Seafood in NYC estimated the age of a recently caught lobster be 140-years-old. The Park Avenue seafood restaurant named the critter George. George was said to be a 20-pound supercentenarian crustacean. George was freed after PETA asked City Crab to return George to the Atlantic Ocean after a diner saw him at the restaurant, where steamed Maine lobster sells for $27 per pound. George had been caught off Newfoundland, Canada and lived in the tank for about 10 days before his release.
George was released Saturday near Kennebunkport, Maine, in an area where lobster trapping is forbidden.
