This is way off topic. But that's actually a myth that lobsters don't feel pain. In fact, one very important thing to note is that lobsters don't have a shock system that will turn off pain receptors like humans do when experiencing extreme trauma .. so a lobster, in theory, feels more pain, or least for a longer period of time, being boiled alive than a human would.
It's recommended that chefs take a knife and jab it into the back of the lobsters neck to quickly and humanely kill it before putting it in the water.
