Love live King Louie, the 23-pound lobster who has been given a second chance at life after a woman set out to free him.
A Canadian woman bought the giant lobster, estimated to be 100 years old, to spare him from the dinner table, Canadian news channel CTV reported.

Katie Conklin paid about $230 to buy King Louie and set him free.
King Louie was caught in the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick by Rodney MacDonald, whose family runs the Alma Lobster Shop. After local media got wind of the enormous crustacean, the shop received several suggestions on what to do with King Louie.
Katie Conklin, a vegan who lives in Nova Scotia, paid about $230 to the MacDonalds to ensure King Louie's return to his open-water kingdom.
