Never eat it. It's an overly intelligent creature.
If you absolutely must, remember that death by boiling is an inhumane practice — and in many places, illegal.
When a lobster is cooked alive, it literally implodes from the pain. Its internal organs disintegrate due to the extreme heat, but its exoskeleton remains intact, clinging to its structure and prolonging the animal’s agony.
Lobsters are conscious enough to feel pain, but because they lack vocal cords, they can’t cry out. The high-pitched sound you hear — often mistaken for a scream — is actually steam escaping through tiny pores in the shell as the organs boil.
It is among the most painful and cruel deaths any living creature can endure.
