And now, Bubba, a 22-pound lobster has been saved. Unlike Larry the Lobster, Bubba doesn't need a 900 number to save him. Though, come to think of it, the 900 number didn't save Larry either.
Bubba has been saved by a kind fish market owner who is sending the estimated 100 yeard old lobster to an aquarium at a Ripley's Believe It or Not museum, according to the Associated Press. But should he be saved?
After all, 22 lbs of lobster would go a long way to providing food for numerous Catholics tired of haddock, cod and perch. And, as the AP article notes, the store owner was offered "a hefty price" for the lobster by People For Eating Tasty Animals. In a case like this, as much as sentiment over a crustacean can possibly play a part, hand me the melted butter.
