Farming Octopus: Ethical or Unjustified?

There is an ongoing debate about the ethical implications of farming octopus. While traditional farmed animals like chickens and pigs are social animals and can be kept together, octopuses are solitary creatures, making it challenging to keep them in captivity at a commercial scale. Furthermore, octopuses have been shown to experience feelings, exhibiting typical characteristics of sentient creatures like trade-off behavior. This raises questions about the ethical justifiability of farming octopus, as it involves confining sentient beings in captivity.
