    Octopuses are much smarter and people eat those too.

    Edit: can I just correct myself. I now think we shouldn’t use perceived intelligence as a measure of how much ethical consideration someone or something deserves, that gets reeeeally gross really fast

        No, go ahead and eat the octopuses. It’s us squid you guys should be worried about.

        Yet there’s no posts in my news feed about how they’re being fished, let alone comments from people upset about it. Maybe we should care more about all animals?

      Octopuses are not much smarter than whales. What are you talking about?
