Apparently PETA lauded a NYC restaurant for freeing a 140 year old lobster named George from its tanks. I don’t know exactly how they came up with the number 140. I also don’t know what makes them think taking a 140 year old lobster living in relative safety (no one would eat it at the restaurant, he’d become something of a mascot) and releasing it in Maine seems like a good idea. It’s not as though Maine catches 80% of American Lobsters.
We’ll just chalk this up to another brilliant move by PETA.
In other news, George the Lobster is definitely already dead.

I know if I caught it, I’d eat it. Here’s how the conversation would go:
Peta: How can you eat George the Lobster, he’s seen so much in his 140 years ;(
Me: With a little melted butter (yummy)
