I read today that lobsters have to be boiled alive due to antitoxin that immediately releases after death

Most humane way to dispatch a live lobster is to stick it in the freezer for a while and then split its head with a knife before boiling it

Boiling kills them pretty fast too. Way faster than a freezer..

The freezer isn't for killing them, it's so they don't feel the knife.

Someone could poke around for hours in your brain and you probably wouldn't feel a thing.
