I 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.
The octopuses I spoke to strenuously deny the fish abuse accusations. "It's true that our innovative management technique - Continuous Tactile Feedback - can look a little rough to the untrained eye, but our Food Collection Engineers are actually very well treated."
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Typically octopuses produce offspring only near the end of their life, so eating them at any point is destructive for their reproduction and species health.
Eat them after they reproduced then, they only do that once in their life.

You should try Polvo à Lagareiro or Pulpo a la Gallega, life is too short to not eat good food.

It's too bad there aren't more software projects (and jobs) like this.

You should try eating young children, life is too short to not eat good food. That's what that sounds like to someone that opts not to eat something on the basis of its intelligence
They can:
- shape shift into so many different forms and shapes.
- "invisibility", by instantanously changing colors & it's own skin texture, to match surrounds.
- can regrow entire body parts if cut off (like arms)
- have 9 brains (localized)
- and are ridiculous intelligent

While I'm all for a history lesson (and the double-I octopii is indeed simply incorrect) I take issue with anyone insisting that "octopi" is wrong: 1. Language is neither static nor a series of rules to be blindly followed. The way a word was pluralized 1400 years ago has limited relevance today. 2. As noted just about everywhere, "octopodes" looks insane in any modern English sentence because we don't pluralize any…
There's "antipodes" though.
