Octopus Farming - a firm no from me 👎

[BoltSnap]

People in former Europpean colonies and in refugee camps live a worse life and die terrible deaths and they are "humans" yet the "sensitive" Europeans don't give a damnd about them. They just grab their natural resources and leave them to die of poverty, hunger and disease (for example what France has been doing to Mali and taking away the gold from Mali). My only concern here is the long term effects of waste on the marine environment as is the case with fish farming.

I would want to see humane guidelines. The article explains they are territorial, and keeping them in close proximity with each other could stress them. That sounds even worse than hogs in cages.

I've not actually checked, but in research at least I'm told that there are minimal guidelines if any for cephalopods. Certainly far fewer than rodents and many species of octopus are smarter than rats.

Now you are making me crave for CousCous with Octopus sauce in the middle of the night.

Yeah -- but those oh, so tasty tapas are made with either baby squid or cuttlefish, the slow-witted and somewhat nasty cousins of octopuses -- so you're good to go . . .

People or puppy’s?

both, but people don't taste as good as octopus on the grill

They should look into farming cuttlefish, too. Much harder to find for sale in the US than octopus, even baby octopus.
