Japanese sushi restaurants are saddened to hear that…… along with the Italian restaurants and Asian restaurants.

So in Commiefornia, octopi are protected but human babies are not.

While a human baby that is put to death (aborted) by the liberal, leftist California governor Newsom, does not enjoy the honors, rank, and privileges:

"highly intelligent," have "long-term memory," and have "have a well-developed nervous system"

of an octopus.

There a wee bit of good news in this story, as a pre-born baby murdered at an abortuary, returns to God. Also, generally, it is Demonrats that get abortions, thereby limiting their numbers into the future.

[Mean Daddy]

Still ok to kill babies in Kalifornia?

Pigs are also extremely intelligent, and pigs, cows, chickens, etc., feel pain, fear and pleasure—and form social bonds.

""Octopuses are highly intelligent, curious, problem-solving animals. They are conscious, sentient beings that exhibit cognitive and behavioral complexity and are capable of experiencing pain, stress, and fear, as well as pleasure, equanimity, and social bonds," the bill's text reads in part. It adds, "Octopuses have a well-developed nervous system, large brains relative to their body size, and a high level of problem-solving ability. They are known for their ability to learn, use tools, and exhibit behaviors that suggest a level of consciousness. Octopuses also display flexibility in their responses to different situations, which is indicative of cognitive complexity."

Yes, replace 'octopus' with 'human babies' and it all applies. You'd think they'd get the point, but....

... pigs, cows, chickens, etc., feel pain, fear and pleasure—and form social bonds.

Yep, octopi are just the foot in the door leading to the banning of all forms of meat ...

“Octopuses are highly intelligent, curious, problem-solving animals. They are conscious, sentient beings that exhibit cognitive and behavioral complexity and are capable of experiencing pain, stress, and fear, as well as pleasure, equanimity, and social bonds,”

Don’t forget the suspicion that octopi is rumored to be direct ancestors to the extraterrestrials!

Koreans, Japanese and Latinos, most of whom vote blue, love octopus. I hope this costs Newscum some votes.

Octopuses are tasty.

[Vision]

It is. It’s drug user logic.

[mairdie]

Actually, I like this one. I read the previous article about their cleverness and really felt yucky that such intelligent creatures were used as food. Finally, a good for Newsie.

[Fai Mao]

Which means that domestic pigs, cows, and chickens will become extinct. If we don’t eat them then there’s no reason to have them around

[Mark17]

If a shark is about to bite down on an octopus, I have serious doubts, that the shark really cares how intelligent the octopus 🐙 is.

[Honorary Serb]

Pigs are intelligent, too!

[ThePatriotsFlag]

But killing human babies? No problem for the Newsome administration.

[Paal Gulli]

This is all because a Spanish company is working on the world’s first octopus farm in the Canary Islands.

The first. Meaning there are yet no others.

Breeding octopus in captivity is very difficult, and the ANTI’s aren’t even giving them the opportunity to prove whether their process works. I can’t find any current information about whether they’re in production but since catching wild octopus is still legal in a lot of places, if you’re truly interested in the survival of the species, you’d be stupid to stand against commercial farming to take pressure off the wild creatures.

This is really all about wackadoodles who want you to live on bean sprouts and sawdust and drink your own urine.
