We have to reconsider the way we cook lobsters and crabs. The assumption that the nervous systems of lobsters and crabs are too simple have been proven to be false by some studies. (See references below. Feel free to email me at healthsciencewriter@gmail.com for actual copies of the studies or if you want additional studies. I would be happy to serve you with the research I've already done.) They do feel pain when boiled alive or de-clawed.
Humane methods of cooking these arthropods include:
1. Place in freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to numb the creature before boiling.
Place in already boiling water.
2. Quick kill with knife as shown at

This method if not executed correctly may cause injury. Please consult a professional.
