Buy them late in the afternoon and they will be perfectly fine.

My parents almost always bring lobsters down from New England with them when they visit. They buy them the afternoon/evening before, keep them in the fridge with wet paper towels, then put them in a big cooler with ice packs the next morning, drive them down here and we feast on them that evening. Never had a dead one yet in 8 years.

Check out peta.org and read their articles on whether lobsters feel pain.

Oh man, lobsters are really big bugs. Exactly the same thing except that the size is adjusted when their medium of motion is water instead of air.

Call me back with this self-righteous silliness when you stop killing insects. Seriously, bees are way smarter and have more feelings and personality than lobsters.

What? They're just the big, delicious Bugs-of-the-Sea.

You can also freeze the lobsters (flash boil for 1 minute, chill in ice water, and then freeze) and cook them later.

The Lobster Institute in Maine maintains that the lobster's primitive nervous system is most similar to the nervous system of an insect. Lobsters react to sudden stimulus, like twitching their tails when placed in boiling water, but they don't have complex brains that allow them to process pain like humans and other animals do.

"Do you have the same concern when you kill a fly or a mosquito?" asks Robert Bayer, executive director of the Lobster Institute. "Cooking a lobster is like cooking a big bug."

At the very least, give them a xanax and a foot rub first, barbarians!

i know right, their little lobster lives flashing before their tentacles, filled with regret and remorse, wondering if they'll be eaten with real butter or horrible margarine.

Perhaps regretting not spending more time with their families rather than scavenging the ocean floor…

It's true; at the bottom of the lobster pot, no one ever says: I wish I'd spent more time scavenging the ocean floor.
