I don't see how this is an inaccuracy in the article. The part just before your quote says octopus farming will be either uneconomical or we'll have to put each of them into a tiny solitary confinement cell, far from being species-appropriate. The article then leaves some escape hatch to be less absolutist, that you apparently didn't like. I don't see much of a problem with a sentence like that... after all, trained wolf's are used to guard sheep's. That comes quite close to your example.
- pvaldes 7y agoThere is not a "welfare problem" when a solitary species is keeping isolated, well feed, protected from predators and left alone in clean water. In the wild the same animal would look actively for tiny crevices and small spaces under the rocks to hide all day. Their place can be adjusted to its size. Tiny animals can be very comfortable sitting in tiny cages with all their sides protected.
