This is horrible. We know so much more now about octopus consciousness and physiology. Enough to know that they can suffer & that farming them will have terrible welfare consequences. The company in the story simply asserting that it won't is frankly pathetic. Nueva Pescanova's claim that their method 'avoids any pain or suffering to the animal' is a straight up lie, and the sort of anti-scientific, evidence-free bullshit that deserves to be called out. #animalethics
