I can't wait for OctoPunch, the turn-based combat video game! You play as the octopus, of course, and build your party from a selection of fishy characters, each with their own personality and special hunting skills.

#12Octopuses are much more intelligent than many give them credit for, but sadly I also love takoyaki (but then again, eating horse and whale is also culturally acceptable in Japan, one of the few countries that allow it; I've tried both as well, they're pretty good).
Horse meat is really good. Not sure why we still forbid it in the United States considering how we eat plenty of cows and horseback riding is more or less a hobby now.

#13I used to love eating octopus, but since I've learned so much about their intelligence, I have not been able to bring myself to do so, anymore.
I have the luxury of choice. There are many, in this world, that do not.

horse meat is allowed in plenty of countries, in northeast italy you can find a lot of horse (and donkey) meat dishes. It is a delicacy though, and more expensive than "regular" meat.

They only live for 3 years or so, just eat them when they're close to kicking the bucket.
This short lifetime combined with their intelligence does raise the question how far an octopus could get if it were able to reach our age. Would they continue learning and adapting, leading to a race of superintelligent molluscs or would they plateau in their first year and just coast along?

A female octopus will try to eat the male octopus, so the intelligence is not at empathy or morality levels.

It’s taboo like eating dog. I don’t even know that’s it illegal

Anyone who likes the sound of that should check out Adrian Tchaikovksy's Children of Time trilogy, particularly the second one.

Most European countries do have horse meat.

Empathy/morality isn't necessarily a requirement for intelligence, nor are the definitions of either easy to nail down.
