There are about 300 species of octopus and many behave in surprisingly sophisticated ways. Some have been shown to use tools, for example. In one experiment, scientists observed octopuses building shelters from pieces of coconut shell.
It makes the most sense in terms of ethical consumption. An octopus is more sentient than other types of seafood and will suffer more upon getting killed. Without factoring in shit like impact on the environment or impact on the food chain, killing animals that are more capable of understanding what is happening and feeling terror and anguish is worse than killing animals that are less capable of these things
Octopus is fucking delicious but I am legit bothered given how smart they are. If I have to save up to eat one once in a while instead of all the time on the cheap I'm ok with that.

Stephen Hawking was there, too; even though it's not his specialty, just to lend a little extra weight.

yeah I don't think this is going to stop anyone from doing it if it is profitable, easy and not illegal.

"Internalized misogynist" and "prude" are the new slurs for women with standards and boundaries. Don't let newspeak fool you. ;)

I wonder why homo(((sapiens))) think intelligence should be the measure for the value of an animal's life.

I agree. People with low IQ should be culled.

Octopuses are way too smart to harvest for food.

We farm Mayo's in the suburbs and they're supposedly intelligent
