88% Informative

Cephalopods are a broad class of mollusks that includes cuttlefish, octopus and squid as well as the chambered nautilus.

California and Washington state both approved bans on octopus farming in 2024 .

A planned octopus farm in Spain ’s Canary Islands is attracting opposition from scientists and animal welfare advocates.

Rachel Blaser : Some octopuses and cuttlefish learn in a way that is comparable to learning in vertebrates.

Animal welfare regulations say little about invertebrates, but guidelines for the care and use of captive cephalopods have started to appear over the past decade .

Deciding which species deserve moral consideration requires selecting criteria, such as neuron count or learning capacity, to inform those choices.
