And Keep off his Lawn!

NYC eatery grants freedom to lobster centenarian - Yahoo! News: "NEW YORK – A 140-year-old lobster once destined for a dinner plate received the gift of life Friday from a Park Avenue seafood restaurant.

George, the 20-pound supercentenarian crustacean, was freed by City Crab and Seafood in New York City.

'We applaud the folks at City Crab and Seafood for their compassionate decision to allow this noble old-timer to live out his days in freedom and peace,' said Ingrid E. Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals."

Thanks to Jeff Segal.
