World’s first octopus farm stirs ethical debate

If you're asking a personal question like I think you are: for me the courtesy of non-violence extends to all beings capable of suffering and with a preference to live. For a good read on the ethics of eating animals I'd recommend Peter Singer's 'Animal Liberation'

You're aware that plants fill both those criteria: (a) capable of suffering, and (b) a preference to live?

What do you eat?

Interesting, could you share your sources showing plants are capable of suffering and can indicate preference?

I eat many things, but nothing from animals :)
