I thought you were supposed to skewer a lobster through the tail first before boiling.. to keep it from curling? I'm sure that can't feel good.
I could never put a live animal under the knife.. I went fishing for a week once... and we caught this big ugly catfish, and my step dad told my brothers and I that we needed to clean it if we wanted him to fry it up for dinner. Problem was, we didn't have a knife with anough weight to just chop it head off, and we didn't want to saw it head off with smaller knife... so we found a big rock and tried to smash its head ... i know it sounds terrible but there was no better way! So it took us like 10 minutes before we even had the nerve to swing this big rock at the fish's head.... and when we did, it didn't die! It flopped and squirmed! We couldnt take it anymore,, so we called step dad over who was somehow able to chop off this huge fish head with 2 swings of the little knife (big guy.. about 6'2"" so he has a fair bit of power in his swing i guess). After it was dead we didn't have any trouble getting the skin off, but we just couldn't kill it.
The only thing i might be able to kill is a cow. They are SO dumb, and I hate them, because they break everything! For tose of you that don't know, (which would be everyone, now that I think of it) my g/f and I work out at a horse farm that raises some beef cattle for some extra cash here and there. Our cows are notorious for breaking everything in sight! We routinely find them in the neighboring farms, munching on grass. The dumb things walk straight through barbed-wire fence, and get cut up pretty bad in the process... and I hate fixing those fence posts they bend over. RRRRRGGHG! Makes me angry just thinking about it!
Yes, cows I could kill. Happily. LOL
