FULL TITLE: The one result he didn't see coming: Rabiot the octopus - who correctly predicted every outcome of Japan's World Cup group matches - is chopped up and eaten before knockout stages

An octopus who had predicted all three of Japan's group stage results at the World Cup has been turned into seafood. 

Rabiot, a giant Pacific octopus, correctly tipped the result of Japan's games against Colombia, Poland and Senegal, but will not have the chance to predict the team's results in the knockout stages. 

Despite his 100 per cent record so far Rabiot, who was caught in Obira, Hokkaido, was gutted and sent to the market to be sold for food, Sora News 24 reported.   Rabiot followed the lead of his psychic predecessor Paul the Octopus, who became an unexpected star of the 2010 World Cup with a series of correct calls.

People eating tasty animals.

That said, the Koreans and Italians cook octopus better.

IT, not HE, didn’t predict anything. It does not have a brain big enough to have an idea about anything. Giving IT a name doesn’t change anything.

An octopus ... has been turned into seafood.

Not quite accurate - he was always 'seafood'...

Au contrair! I’m not saying they can predict anything, but octopuses are extremely intelligent.

It has been my experience that if you are a sea creature, and you are in the hands of the Japanese, no matter, how odd, repulsive, exotic, endangered, or yes, even talented you may be (able to predict sporting events, solve quadratic equations, or even speak a human language) you are in extreme danger of being eaten by Japanese humans.

If you come out of the ocean, you are fair game to be eaten over there.

Reminds me of the story about the farmer and his pig. Traveling salesman is at farmer’s house and sees this pig wandering around the house. Farmer tells him it is the family pig. Farmer tells him long story of how the pig saved the family from a fire, how it saved his kid from drowning in the swamp, etc.

Salesman wants to know why the pig only has three legs.
Farmers says, “You don’t eat a valuable pig like that all at once.”
