I am going to trust the octopus. Octopus eat octopus.
The morality of eating other animals is a messy subject. I don't think anyone can claim a perfect framework.
But they taste good, and they don't seem to sympathize with their own.
They are also a creature doing well in the wild, a generalist that responds well to ecosystem changes. As apposed to some other seafoods.
- beznet 4y agoThere's lots of things that happen in the wild that us humans shouldn't use as a moral compass. Also eating them involves causing these great creatures mass amounts of pain and suffering before they die. It's best to just leave them alone and let them live their lives in peace.
- Nevermark 4y agoI agree to a degree But pigs and chickens are probably much worse morally to eat. Given their entire lives can be hellish. And a majority of people eat those. Eating an animal that lived a natural life before being harvested seems less cruel to me. I am sharing my thoughts, not claiming I am "right" or settled on this issue.
- anileated 4y agoYes. If I outwit octopus 1:1 that would be OK.
