Hipsters.

Off topic, but the octopus can regenerate its tentacles like a starfish can regenerate its own arms.

No, it should be made illegal for other reasons, because octopus meat is rubbery and too chewy.

It's bad enough to try to eat rubber bands, but to eat them when they're alive..?

Why not? There seemingly are no limits to government in the US.

Calamari made the right way is soft and delicious.

Calamari steak is delicious.
What about live scungilli? Not out of the can.
To: nickcarraway
I wish someone would put you back in the can.
No complaints about boiled lobster though.
Maybe PETA likes the taste too much.

Remember when they wanted to call fish sea kittens?
To: nickcarraway
There is NO good reason to do this.
It’s wrong, it’s cruel, and it’s just barbaric.

Off topic:
I once came across a youtube vid of an anaconda eating a large croc head first. The crocodile’s tail was flapping violently, obviously it was still alive. I promptly shut down my computer, and had nightmares all night. Though, am sure the anaconda didn’t care - top of the food chain.

I think you kill an octopus by stabbing it between the eyes.
The tentacles would still wriggle - it’s residual nerve action - just as they would cut from a living octopus.
Eating the tentacles would still be perverse and decadent, but at least the octopus would suffer no more than the usual death.

No. It sounds kind of fruity. You sure it wasn’t you who thought it up?

I think it’s grotesque. I understand being part of the food chain, but I don’t understand making something suffer.
