A 132 year old lobster is being set free on Long Island today. 

Hempstead Town Supervisor Anthony Santino is joining conservation officials to celebrate National Lobster Week by setting free 22 pound "Louie the Lobster." It's believed to be one of New York's oldest lobsters tanked in captivity. Santino says "Louie" will be given amnesty off the waters of Peter's Clam Bar in Island Park.
