CBC: More than 600 pounds of lucky lobsters were spared the pot Saturday, thanks to compassionate monks on Prince Edward Island.
The monks bought the lobsters from various places around the Island, said Venerable Dan of the Great Enlightenment Buddhist Institute Society in Little Sands.
On Saturday, they boarded a fishing boat and released them back into the ocean off the coast of Wood Islands.
“Hopefully, we can find a spot where there are no cages waiting for them,” said Dan.
Meanwhile…. thousands of unborn babies are killed, vacuumed out and their parts sold to the highest bidder.
# LOBSTER LIBERATION!
izlamo delenda est …
Catch and release … just so they can catch them again.
Release them where there are no cages? That’s not where their food is so they will travel back to where the food is – where the cages are.

Right there covers a lot of social territory, you know?
How much butter did they dump with them?
This is like the Final Destination movies.
There is nothing the monks can do but delay the lobsters’ eventual and unavoidable unification with melted butter.
It is their destiny.
I hope these critters had the rubber bands taken off their claws prior to release.
My educated guess is that these lobsters, after being trapped, transported, stored in tanks and not being fed much if anything, will mighty poor at fending for and feeding themselves back in the wild. This means the whole thing was a meaningless feel-good gesture by the monks, and needlessly depriving us bib-wearers of the joy of dining on a nicely steamed lobster, or two if they’re small, swimming in melted butter. Phooey.

Venerable Dan of the Great Enlightenment Buddhist Institute will be a Lobster in his next life.
Pass the butter.
Wow! I’d like to be a lobsterman on that island! Catch, sell, re-catch, re-sell, repeat. Endless fishery.
TU for Claudia. Accidental TD.
Sean Hannity used to kid his staff member, “Flipper” (a liberal animal rights activist), about freeing the lobster gram gift lobster he gave her into a lake with the rubber bands still on the claws.
Might as well have just boiled it and eaten it.
I often wonder about the lobsters in the tank at the lobby of a Red Lobster as I’ve never seen anyone order one.
So funny! I’m a job creator at IOTWr — though I suspect TD’er has a rather limited future. haahah!
What or WHO are these monks???? catholic………….Buddhist……..whatever!!??
@Unslung Hero: Why, Capuchin, of course. Of the Primate Order.
😇
I wish the Monks would cajole 600 BLMs to join them. Then release them into the ocean to feed the lobsters.
to join them
My key board is on drugs again.
Moe Tom,
I understood where you were going with that. And I found it hilarious! Which is why I gave you a TU.
