@@RainWalking like the mutual respect he had for the crab as he crushed and ate it? Get over yourself. The universe inst nearly that nice. Sure it's cool to see it but to say that's how it should be is to be completely and utterly ignorant of the way life actually works.

[@RainWalking]

@@deamonomic Did you read what I said, or making things up that I never did. The man and the octopus and a mutual interest and both were gentle with each other. None harmed each other and both respected each other. So how about you get over yourself and stop making things up that I never said. Did you watch the video? Did the man harm the animal. No he was gentle. The man showed respect to the animal. The animal did the same. What you said, does not even relate to my comment. Also I have no idea what you say when you say mural respect. Seeing mural is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other permanent surfaces. but lets go by your comment. Look how many lives you take per year yourself to eat because of greed. How about you read what someone says before you open your mouth.

"Almost feels like every sucker has it's own brain". It's true, octopus' suckers are highly sensitive, they have nerves capable of some low level processing which communicates with a 'senior' nerve of sorts in the arm. Each of their arms is both capable of communicating with one another as well as acting pretty much independently from one another. They're truly amazing creatures

[@scottrackley4457]

Each of their arms has a separate nerve cluster for only dealing with that arm, and communicates to the other arms and the brain. They don't have individual "brains" for each arm, not as such as we would call it a brain, but they are somewhat independent in that those nerve clusters control just that arm. Fascinating creatures, if we go extinct, I think either dolphins or octopi will be the next sapient creature, if they're not already.

I've never wanted to eat them. when I was about 4 I saw a little Greek kid a little younger than me smashing an octopus onto rocks and was totally outraged especially when I found out that that's the way people kill them to eat. at that age I was horrified at the idea of eating such a strange little creature that looked so harmless and that idea never changed. they're too special to eat

[@naturelove7398]

​@@opeeate😪

[@becominghero9754]

I identify with this. I have Japanese ancestry, so eating octupi was part of my culture. But then I started keeping kosher (just a lot of Bible reading brought me to it). One of the really lovely side effects of this diet was I started to get to feel a lot better about intelligent creatures like this, with no more guilt. MANY of the creatures forbidden in the kosher rules--the original ones in the Torah, not the Talmud--are intelligent. Whales, pigs, octupi--we as humans kind of arbitrarily decide who we think will be intelligent (hence why octupi are tortured alive, but that's not generally considered okay for other animals). But maybe only God actually knows what animal will suffer most, or who's most intelligent. Anyway, whatever the actual reason for the no-octupi rule, I'm really grateful that I don't have to feel like I HAVE to eat them anymore to stand up for my culture. I can have my ancestry and still keep octupi alive.
