Even the things we eat/consume. Just because we are carnivorous, doesn't mean we have to lack compassion/respect for the things we eat. Life is precious and miraculous, providing us with what we need to survive and endless things we don't yet understand.

[@alexbg9287]

@@scruffygaming627 very true, the fact that we eat other animals does not mean that we should eat ALL animals, the most ideal option is to take as much as you need but make sure that it does not cause irreparable harm

I love the dedication of octopus mothers. I really wish that some humans would display even a fraction of their love for their children.

[@mygirldarby]

Are you serious? Women go through hell to procreate. It is painful, long arduous process. Then most of us give our bodies over to nursing our babies with sore, bruised and cracked ripples, engorged heavy and painful, for months to years. To say that women don't dedicate themselves to their babies is utter nonsense. Humans are over 8 billion strong. Each and every one of those 8 billion humans got here through a woman's body. Don't forget it. I am shocked that a "psychology major" would say such a terrible thing about human beings. It's absolutely untrue. You have no case to be made when humans fill every nook and cranny of the land on earth, and it is 100% due to the dedication of human mothers.

More people ARE like her. It’s the bad ones that get all the press. Humans are infinitely better than animals. Remember many animals eat other animals including their babies. 😮

[@planetvegan7843]

Yes! Everyone be vegan.

Agree. Spain is trying to licence the world’s first octopus farm. Totally inhumane (and not sustainable) to farm carnivores for their meat. There’s a petition floating around somewhere which you can sign to oppose their plans.

[@avarysse5782]

Years back I watched a nature show on Octopus - I cried so hard. I watched a mother relentlessly work and risk her life to save her babies. I vowed then that I would NEVER eat octopus and I have not and will not when I know how hard their lives are

[@briang.4249]

This is nature in all of its majesty and with all of its dangers. We are only scratching the surface with our understanding of these beautiful creatures. As a predator, octopus are second to none. With their highly developed intelligence they are able to live in many parts of the worlds oceans. When they live on or near reefs for example, they have the ability to perfectly mimic the colours of the reef. There is also a school of thought that octopuses can communicate with each other with a complex language. As for their physiology, they have 3 hearts which they use when hunting. Once they are resting, they can switch off one heart to conserve energy. What this wonderful lady has shown in this beautiful clip is the best of humanity ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Thank you dear lady for sharing this beautiful little clip.
