Recent studies hint that crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans experience pain and discomfort in ways we hadn't fully understood before.

From what I've read about lobsters (not sure about crabs) is they have a decentralized nervous system, not a singular brain like mammals.

So how do you humanely and quickly kill a lobster? If you are using a knife it would basically probably have to bleed out, which would not be quick, since you can't just stab it's brain or cut its head off like we do to cows, chickens and pigs.
