...before I could get him on a plate. Larry the lobster D.O.A. at aquarium after activists rescue him from restaurantBy Shayla Love July 29 at 6:27 AM An ancient 15-pound lobster named Larry was saved from becoming dinner at a Florida seafood restaurant last week but has died in transit to the Maine State Aquarium, the Miami Herald reported. When Joe Melluso, the owner of Tin Fish restaurant in Sunrise, Fla., first got the call about a massive lobster from his seafood supplier, he thought Larry could be 115 years old. After a picture of the lobster was broadcast on a local TV station, business owners and animal activists rallied to save him. They named him Larry and said he should live out his golden years in peace. iRescue, an animal activist group, and a team of local residents raised money for his travel from Florida to Maine. Experts later estimated Larry’s age to be closer to 60 to 80 years old. www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/07/29/larry-the-lobster-d-o-a-at-aquarium-after-activists-rescue-him-from-restaurant/?hpid=hp_hp-morning-mix_mm-story-b%3Ahomepage%2Fstory
