Right. Maybe it is hard to prove, but the choice to eat them is a life-or-death decision. I am going to opt for tofu. Given that "sentience" is roughly the ability to have feelings, it seems very hard to believe most animals are not sentient. Spend a day with a cat or on a farm and you will witness emotions. Do octopuses have feelings? The paper is pretty confident: "There is very strong evidence of sentience in octopods". It seems likely to me that animals that are distant from humans are harder for us to understand, but still sentient.
