The whole boiling alive thing always put me off. Torturing a creature to death for a morsel of food never seemed quite right to me.
Common practice nowadays is to kill it just before cooking with a quick knife blow to the noggin
I’ll play devil’s advocate. I think a lobster suffers less in 20 seconds (or whatever) of boiling than a pig being raised for a few weeks.
You're probably not wrong, but a pig does at least provide more than a few mouthfuls of food.
Not that I condone the suffering.
