World’s first octopus farm stirs ethical debate

I eat all animals, octopus is delicious. What I do practice is compassion and respect for when I do, going out of my way to ensure it was done so in as an ethical and sustainable way as possible. Much of my protein these days I catch myself.

An unnecessary killing is never respectful. You can attach whatever rituals and formalities to the process to ease your conscience, but at the end of the day if you kill a sentient animal for momentary pleasure, you don’t respect it in the slightest.

Seems like kind of an oxymoron to have a living being killed and subsequently eaten, then claim compassion and respect.

So you hate your food?

No, not at all. I don't claim to love and have compassion without backing it up.

> compassion and respect

I hope the long-dead animal on your plate will be able to appreciate your compassion and respect ;)

> ethical and sustainable way

How would you describe ethical and sustainable meat production, or in other words, what qualifies as ethical and sustainable for you?
