A Connecticut man purchased a 17-pound lobster at a Waterford restaurant, then released the crustacean back into Long Island Sound. The lobster would have to be about 80-years-old to reach his current size and he felt he deserved to live. ''It takes seven years for him to even become a lobster big enough to keep.'' MacKenzie said. ''For a lobster to live this long and avoid lobster traps, nets, lobster pots... he doesn't deserve a bib and butter.'' He took the lobster back to sea Tuesday, releasing him in a secret location, where he said it would be almost impossible for fishermen to drag their nets. MacKenzie received a send-off from a group of children chanting ''Let Larry Live'' and the lobster was given a salute from the Niantic River Bridge operator who sounded the lift bridge's siren as the boat carrying him headed to sea.
