All wild animals try to escape...

  Most wild animals lack the cognitive and spatial abilities of octopodes, or match their use of tools. There is a difference between sprinting away and making planned, sapient decisions to escape. The intelligence of some cephalopods is a controversial topic, as their limb dexterity and brain-to-mass ratios makes them unique, and they have some protection from research in the E.U.

    >There is a difference between sprinting away and making planned, sapient decisions to escape. What's the difference? They're both instinctual responses to a perceived threat. Now, I'm not saying we should be killing animals indiscriminately. I'm saying that decision has nothing to do with whether the animal knows which direction to flee or how to hide. That's like trying to decide whether to buy a house based on the number in the ones place of its price.

      What are you even talking about? Azakai is talking about the ethics behind this type of testing on a highly intelligent animal; the giant Pacific octopus. You can't talk about instinctual responses when you have absolutely on clue what's going off in the mind of Athena and what that particular octopus views as a threat. >Now, I'm not saying we should be killing animals indiscriminately Wow your a real saint! Did you even read the article of are you going to keep on throwing out Red herrings? I'm not going to even touch that house analogy...
