P.E.I. monks buy 270 kg of lobster to release them into ocean

More than 270 kilograms of lucky lobsters were spared the pot Saturday, thanks to compassionate monks on Prince Edward Island.  They then released the crustaceans back into the ocean to cultivate compassion not just for the lobsters, but for all beings.

setting them free on Saturday. (Jessica Doria-Brown/CBC)
