Current Headlines: 140-Year Old Lobster Gets His Dying Wish

Lobster Pleas: "I Want To Live!!!!"

From the Associated Press Wire:

In this photo released by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, “George,” a live 20 pound lobster rests on a plate at City Crab and Seafood in New York, Friday, Jan. 9, 2009. City Crab and Seafood has spared the lobster, which is expected to be released Saturday, Jan. 10, near Kennebunkport, Maine, in an area where lobster trapping is forbidden. PETA and the restaurant gauged George’s age at about 140, using a rule of thumb based on the creature’s weight. (AP Photo/P.E.T.A.)

George LIVES!
