No, not the kind of people who love to eat lobsters.
Canadian lobsters have apparently been showing up in England's fisheries. Upon investigation, it appears they're arriving via cruise ship passengers who are animal lovers buying up the live lobsters from the onboard restaurants and "releasing" them into the ocean, sometimes with rubber bands still around their claws.
Besides the whole contamination of foreign species, I wonder how many of the "freed" lobsters simply died because they were dropped somewhere off the continental shelf?

I thought maybe you mean "lovers" in the other sense of the word. (although I couldn't figure out how that would work...)

Just like meat is grown in the back rooms of the grocery store, these idjits probably think that lobsters have rubber bands on their claws in the wild.
What makes me dispair is that so many of them will manage to evade natural selection and breed.
stay safe.

To avoid that breeding problem with those idjits, maybe we could put rubber bands around their...

I would, since I don't like lobster. But if I bought a lobster, I would eat it, not "free" it.

There's only one way I'm dumping a lobster off a deck of the ship. And I dont think it's considered polite on modern cruise ships.

To say nothing of practical or safe.

After mixing it with excessive quantities of grain alcohol and diluted hydrochloric acid?

For years we (the whole extended family) had a cousin convinced that lobster tasted "yucky", in spite of the evidence of us coming up from drawn butter only for a quick gasp for air before plunging in again. I think he was 15 or 16 when he learned the truth - and he's still not forgiven any of us.
(Side note: my maternal grandmother held that both lobster and shrimp became kosher with the application of even the slightest amount of MSG. Personally I think it was Mr. Yee at the Peking Palace, instead of some rabbi, that told her that.)
stay safe.
