Default intellignet mollusks - octopi & cuttlefishes

I don't know about cuttlefish, but octopuses are generally thought to
be the most intelligent of all invertebrates. The counter-argument to
not eating them is that they HAVE to be eaten! They have about 200,000
kids at once, and if most of them weren't eaten we'd be wall to wall
octopus! What I find more disturbing is that it is legal in the USA to
perform experimental operations on octopuses, like on their eyes,
without anesthetic.

Yes, Japan still hunts and eats whales, and so does Iceland and Norway,
I believe.
