Will Big Dee-Dee, the 22 pound lobster, end up back in the sea or in butter?
It seems DeeDee was rescued already - there is a story about this published Friday: "Vancouver realtor helps to save giant lobster" by Tim Lai, Vancouver Sun, Published: Friday, July 18, 2008
This is 2 days before the question was created. So it has to be voided. Sorry.
Background:
OTTAWA (AFP) - Lobster-loving Canadians are trying to persuade a fish market in easternmost New Brunswick province to set free a huge crustacean believed to be more than 100 years old, its owner said Friday.
The 10-kilogram (22-pound) male named Big Dee-Dee was caught earlier this month in the Bay of Fundy and is now on display at the Shediac fish market Big Fish.
According the store owner, Denis Breau, it was to be auctioned off in the coming weeks.
But a massive campaign to stop it from landing in a pot of boiling water has unexpectedly kicked off, with online petitions and a woman in Vancouver on Canada's Pacific Coast enlisting the help of the Vancouver Humane Society and animal rights group PETA.
Settlement details:
As reported by a major mainstream news source.
option 1 = bought and set free
option 2 = bought and eaten
option 3 = anything else

Vancouver resident Laura-Leah Shaw paid $1,000 to buy the 10-kilogram crustacean that had been on sale at a fish market in New Brunswick. Two anonymous organizations in Ontario also chipped in $1,000 each to save the lobster, according to the Vancouver Sun.
Shaw said she plans to release the lobster, believed to be 100 years old, back into the water.
