The 22 Pound Lobster
'Bubba', 22-pound lobster, to be saved
Wednesday, March 2, 2005 Posted: 7:59 AM EST (1259 GMT) PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) -- He could have survived two world wars and Prohibition. He also could have been dinner. He's Bubba, a 22-pound leviathan of a lobster pulled from the waters off Nantucket, Massachusetts, and shipped to a Pittsburgh fish market. On Tuesday, Owner Bob Wholey Wholey gave the lobster to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, which will send him to an aquarium at a Ripley's Believe It or Not museum. "It is overwhelming," Wholey said. "If you see it, you will never forget it. Customers are just in awe." People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent Wholey a letter asking him to work with the group to release Bubba back in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine. Another group calling itself People For Eating Tasty Animals reportedly offered Wholey a hefty price for the lobster. At Tuesday's price of $14.98 a pound, Bubba would retail for about $350. ------------------------------------------------- Save him or eat him? I say....boil him up! LOL! |
