Can you put a lobster bought at a store back into the sea and expect it to survive?

Answer: YES YOU CERTAINLY CAN! Keep the thing in a cooler on top of a moist towel. Do NOT put it on or IN ice. FRESH WATER WILL KILL THEM INSTANTLY! If you get them back to the ocean, and put a store bought lobster in? They will survive very nicely, and thank you very much for the kindness...
