> I’m fine with for example cooking lobsters or prawns and other seafood that needs to be basically cooked alive

Just want to point out here: No, they don't need to be cooked alive. The human way to cook lobster is to run a knife through its head first. But most people don't have the stomach for this and choose to believe that boiling it alive is more humane.

I honestly didn’t know that, thanks for telling me.

However shrimps do need to be cooked alive, right?

No. Have you never seen frozen shrimp available in the store?
