Demand is on the rise worldwide… Why did the US pass a law banning octopus farming? Octopus is an essential ingredient on the Japanese diet. As demand for octopus increases worldwide, development of octopus farming technology is underway. Meanwhile, in California, USA, a law banning octopus farming was passed on the 28th (Japan time). Why is that? (The rest is omitted, please check the source for the rest)

People who believe that we will be reborn as another animal when we die because of religious beliefs
assume that if they are reborn, they will naturally be intelligent, and therefore argue that intelligent animals should not be abused.

The octopus-like aliens who infiltrated the city were at their limit.
Soon the reptilians will start making a fuss about not eating certain reptiles or putting them on display.
There are people who are completely serious about this…

It’s an essential part of the Japanese dining table.
I guess it’s not that essential.

Huh…
I read it to the end
The reason for the ban is for animal welfare.

As expected, it was a stupid reason.

They’re going to let it slide because the system is already in place.

Then let’s make squid.

There are religions that teach that octopuses are evil creatures.

Recently I bought boiled octopus and made it into carpaccio, which goes great with sake.

As stupid as eating boiled fish as sashimi.

Octopus prices have gone up too.

Octopus is also eaten in Italy and other Western Mediterranean countries, so I don’t know what will happen in the future.

Westerners say nonsense like animal welfare.

Japan should focus on aquaculture instead. Food crisis and water shortages are coming in the near future.
0027Anonymous Donburako.Sep. 28, 2024 (Sat) 23:26:03.15ID:sJpYGCVt0
Before long they’ll probably tell people not to eat any living thing, or even eat sand.
0028Anonymous Donburako.Sep. 28, 2024 (Sat) 23:26:43.17ID:AVIt9JbI0
The idea behind this was animal welfare. Steve Bennett, the US Congressman who introduced the bill, said, “It is inappropriate to try to breed octopuses, which do not naturally live in groups, and it could even be said to be animal cruelty.”

Scientists who support the ban on farming octopuses are:
Professor Jennifer Jacquette of the University of Miami: “Octopuses have good memories and can distinguish people.”
Octopuses are said to be highly intelligent and can sometimes communicate with people. I was crazy after all lol.

If it were only available in the wild, it would become a luxury food ingredient.

If octopus was as tasty as squid, I wouldn’t have objected.

Maybe it’s because it’s California, but it has good public safety, high taxes, and many other pros and cons, and it was popular with the rich, but because of its ideological bias, many people fled.

It was a valuable source of protein in the past, but now we can get protein from other sources.

Isn’t it just plain discriminatory to say that people with high intelligence should be protected?
So if people are stupid, they’re useless, right?

Octopus can be farmed as well. I hope they farm it on a large scale in Japan and supply it cheaply.

The methods currently being researched are too time-consuming to be cheap.

If octopuses had a lifespan of 100 years, the Earth would be ruled by octopuses.

But I thought people in America don’t eat octopus that much?

Farming cannibalistic octopuses is so inefficient that no one would do it even before it was banned.
0053Hunter [lv.11] [Seedling].Sep. 28, 2024 (Sat) 23:35:01.52ID:O6lHFb+O0
I’m so glad octopuses aren’t land creatures.
