    Considering how easy it is to kill the lobster before tossing it in, I feel boiling them alive is always unnecessarily cruel.

      I thought that was needed to avoid toxins or something.

        That’s if you kill the lobsters hours before, generally nowadays it’s considered more humane to kill it just before putting it into the pot.
