i used to be very biased in eating octopi, because of my high respect for them and their intelligence (which i believe also gives birth to higher levels of emotion and empathy)... until i learned that large (intelligent) octopi sometimes eat the smaller species of octopi, then i didnt feel too bad about eating them *if* theyre tiny. Then i thought maybe theyre just baby large octopi.... now i dont eat them anymore.

Re: eating xephalopods?
Fri, October 28, 2005 - 12:47 PMIt's a food chain thing, plain and simple. If octopuses were large enough, you can bet they would not hesitate to eat humans, if the chance presented itself.
Still, watching one of the octopuses escape from a tank on the rather brutal Iron Chef (where "freshness" takes on a whole new meaning) and thereby escape getting its head chopped off while still alive, made me pause in my octopus consumption for several months. -

This is a shame because I love calamari -

Thu, June 29, 2006 - 10:09 PMexactly, the large octopi are the highest intelligence of a non-mammilian chain. They can do a lot that we are unaware of.
