    The fact that there wasn’t already bothers me. Octopodes are extremely intelligent creatures and we’ve known this for a while. Not that I think intelligence should be how we base our treatment of animals, but it is one of the bigger factors when laws about this sort of thing get made, so I would have expected it to be taken into account before now.
