[Coral-List] Octopus punches fishes

[Alina Szmant]

Hence the need for veganism to take over as well as dramatic curbs on human population size. There is not enough land area left to feed all humans on Earth today plus projected human growth with a plant based diet and not impact what is left of wilderness and wildlife, including coral reefs as a source of fish protein for those who adopt a fish-plant based diet.

 I guess you meant to say "they should NOT be treated as vertebrates are". Such kind of statements makes me wondering: are we actually all aware how we are treating vertebrates? Fish, pigs, chickens, cows and calfs, goats, sheep, lambs not to mention all sort of wildlife up to primates?Let's have a look a little beyond the plate sitting in front of us, especially during holiday season.The octopous are amazing, so they are all other animals (even if not all punch).Francesca

  Hi David,

Glad you liked it!
There is also a rising interest on (and feasibility of) octopus aquaculture which is bringing some ethical questions into light. Personally, I think they should be treated as vertebrates are.
Regarding the train track, I'm actually not sure (researchers from Eilat that are part of this list will know better), but maybe it was related with the underwater 'habitat' that was active there some years ago under Hans Fricke? If someone can answer, I would love to know as well.
