I asked 20 people I knew if they knew how to boil a lobster, out of these only 3 people (15%) actually knew the basics of it, and the rest (85%) didn't really have any clue past the obvious sticking it into a pan of boiling water.
Even then, those 3 people only knew that you had to put it into boiling salt water, and to cover the pan once immersed.
I also asked the 20 people whether they thought boiling a lobster was humane.
Only 5 people (25%) thought it would be humane to boil a lobster to kill it, whilst the other 75% of people I asked agreed that the method of freezing the lobster first to numb it, and then boiling it was probably more humane.
Out of the 20, (0%) had ever eaten lobster, and only 2 people (10%) would consider eating it.
