    I want to know if they’re actually raising the octopuses from eggs because I took a tour of an octopus farm research lab on the big island of Hawaii and they claimed nobody in the world knows how to feed octopuses correctly from infancy because their diet is so complex. At a certain stage of development all the babies die

    I am 90% vegetarian and have decided to not eat octopus or squid anymore. I eat some wild fish ie not farmed. I agree that the less meat humans eat the better off the planet will be and the issue of cruelty to animals should be taken seriously.

      I respect your right to hold that opinion...however its clear that it is far from logical...unfortunately the reality is that soy protein does not provide even a fraction of the micro-nutrients that meat does..its why all the Afrikaans ppl where i live are 6ft8...its cause they eat insane amounts of meat(along with genetics ofc) but the diet sustains their bodily growth...although it is also known that the stress and lifestyle an animal lives through..does effect the meat quality...so I would say giving them an enjoyable life and healthy life until their end..is certainly beneficial for both them and us....but not eating meat is beyond infantile logic...with all due respect..my mother was vegetarian for a while...until she got very sick...i spoke some sense into her and now she eats healthy meat from the local butchery...and drinks milk etc from the local farms...one can eat meat and not be cruel....mass pig farming in china etc in complex like structures with no light is obviously appalling.

      Can people not spread awareness about an issue they are passionate about? Do we have to dictate people on what they must switch their activism for? What is your problem with people speaking about unethical practices such as this?

    I don't think it's great, but is there something about octopuses that makes them more important to save from this on the basis of intelligence than pretty much all the other sentient animals we eat? Cows, lambs, chickens, pigs, goats etc? Perhaps there are better ways to farm them, you have to go by steps, to get the system to change.
