Eating meat in the modern age is mentally ill. We keep finding ways to harm animals in an almost psychopathic way.

Well, this line belongs in the English Grammar Hall of Shame: "Using a 110 volt - 2-5 amp current and placed in the CrustaStun, the crustacean will experience an interruption..."
Anyone allowing a lobster to use 2 to 5 amps of house current needs parenting lessons, that's for sure!
As for the scream myth, it's boiled watervapor escaping through small orifices, usually happening only when the cook heaves the lil' armored bugger into a pot of already-boiling water.
I agree with Larry Niven: anything that works that hard to protect itself deserves not to be eaten. (On the other hand, anyone who, in the 21st century, thinks eating meat is mentally ill is suffering from delusions of adequacy and needs more red meat in his/her diet.)

My favourite means of dispatching the overgrown mudbugs is just cutting them in half with a heavy chef's knife. Or, if you're Australian, knoife.
A lobster's "brain" is smaller than a penny. It'll be dead before it knows it's in trouble.
