- Why don't they retire him to a huge tank and save some friends from a local Red Lobster for him? Seems like he's been in captivity pretty long and release could be dangerous.

- WTF!? Sell the think for $1 Million and build some home for the home less! The thing will be eaten by Sharks in the moment it makes it into the Ocean! (It's not like it will produce 114 times more Lobster eggs!!!)

- In my weakest sounding shaky voice: Save the old lobsters! save the old lobsters! Our ecosystem can't survive without old lobsters.
  So the ocean equivalent of giant cock roaches are being freed. Is this akin to Free Willy or Born Free?
