The cruelty of this delicacy is highly debated. Technically, the tentacles themselves are not alive. They say the twitching of the nerves are just reacting to the loss of command from the octopus’s brain. They can continue for up to 30 minutes after it has been cut. According to scientists, octopuses are more intelligent than most people are aware. Orion magazine reports that an octopus is able to identify and remember people, even after much time has passed. Also, they are able to exhibit a unique personality and even basic problem solving skills.
Although they claim the octopus is dead, and the movements are just nerve reactions, you could have fooled me. This video looks like this octopus is alive and well and fighting for life. Watch the video, share and let everyone know what you think!
