"There is already a wealth of research that suggests octopuses are one
of the most complex and intelligent animals in the ocean. They can
recognise individual human faces, solve problems (and remember the
answers for months) and there is some evidence they experience pain and
suffering. Numerous videos on the internet of octopuses escaping from
their tanks or stealing fishermen's catches have fuelled a human
fascination with the only invertebrate that the 2012 Cambridge
Declaration on Consciousness considers sentient alongside mammals and birds.
Keeping intelligent animals like octopuses in large, industrial farms
poses numerous ethical issues and a lot of it is down to how aquaculture
has evolved over the past decades."
