> Did you intentionally remove the first part of the paragraph? Yes, it seemed a little superfluous given the last third of the paragraph makes the point that farming them is putting undue stress (in comparison to alternative food sources) on the environment. > They are talking about the environmental impact of octopus They're talking about both the environmental impact and the ethics of carnivores. > Farming octopuses is not only unethical but deeply damaging to the environment, scientists say. >There is already a wealth of research that suggests octopuses are one of the most complex and intelligent animals in the ocean. They can recognise individual human faces, solve problems (and remember the answers for months) and there is some evidence they experience pain and suffering. Numerous videos on the internet of octopuses escaping from their tanks or stealing fishermen's catches have fuelled a human fascination with the only invertebrate that the 2012 Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness considers sentient alongside mammals and birds.
