Dolphins: "Most people stopped eating us cause we're smart." Octopus: "cool story bro...."
-
I can fix it. Leave them alone. No I’m not a vegan or animal activist. They’re too intelligent to be held captive, just like elephants.
-
They become aggressive and self-harm and eat each other because they are self-aware and this is torture.
-
Im not a vegan or an animal rights activist or w/e, hell i've eaten squids and octopus but theres something weirding me out about farming highly intelligent creatures for food consumption. Somehow it feels more "right" to catch them in the wild for some reason lol
-
When I watch videos of octopuses that recognize frequent divers, and how they latch on for rides or play games... I realize maybe we shouldn't farm them to eat. They're as smart as dogs, so eating one feels just as taboo to me.
-
I don’t eat them. They are too smart for me to do it. They are too interesting.
-
When a female octopus lays eggs she dies after they hatch. She gives her life to make sure nothing eats her babies.
-
I'm sorry, but this just seems wrong somehow. They're just way too intelligent to raise them without cruelty.
-
I hate seeing people catch and take them at the pier, one time this dude had 3 in a bucket and I was trying to convince him to put them back, he didn’t. But he turned around for about 1 minute, went to check on them, they all escaped and squeezed through a 1” crack in the pier. I was stoked and cheering for them lol.
-
What if octopuses have a human farm, and they’re running into the same issues.
-
Ive eaten them before... but stopped after learning about them. Its insane just how smart these things are.
-
The recent popularity of Takoyaki has greatly worsened this issue imo
-
This is horrific!! How can humans do this to another creature? Omg, it's so wrong. We have become the monsters....
-
If they found a way to extend the life of the octopus that's a scary thought one of the reasons why octopus intelligence hasn't gotten much bigger is because of their short lifespan. If you add more time to learn you increase the capacity for intelligence...
-
in my opinion eating octopi is very cruel (especially If their alive)
-
This was the best - well rounded, informative and entertaining documentary I have seen on octopuses. I love them so much, swimming or fried, that I want to get a tattoo of one crawling out of my shirt neck-line. I quit eating them for about two weeks after I'd watched several documentaries about how friendly and intelligent they are. Then logic kicked in and, considering the relish they have in eating each other, I decided it would be foolish to disrespect their own tradition.
-
Ah I feel just because octopuses aren’t vertabrates they are treated with less respect, I mean they are as smart as cats (and maybe more) but for the most part humans don’t eat live cats because that would be unethical 🐱 🐙
-
They also tend to trust people, this is horrific, monstrous abuse, cruelty,betrayal. People please find pétitions urgently on change and promote boycotts of any and all consumption of these precious créatures.
-
I think octopuses are just wayyy too smart for us to be doing this to them.

arm continues to move because each arm has its own brain and seperate nervous system
