Octopuses Revealed- Exploring Their Intelligence, Sentience, and the Controversy of Octopus Farming

The world’s first octopus farm is on the cusp of being greenlighted, however, not without a global outcry. Today’s guest, Dr. Elena Lara, is with the organization, Compassion in World Farming. She talks about what makes these animals so incredible- from their ability to solve problems to their uncanny talent for camouflage despite being colorblind! We explore the ethical and environmental considerations that come into play as the world seeks to supply the growing demand for seafood with the welfare of these intelligent, sentient creatures.
