How to kill lobster
Numb the lobster by freezing it for 20 minutes.
Place the lobster on a tray and place it in the freezer on a shelf or another flat area. This will slightly numb the lobster, making its death less painful.
Freezing also slows the lobster's movements down so that it's easier to work with. Put the lobster on a cutting board and a baking sheet.
