There's lots of things that happen in the wild that us humans shouldn't use as a moral compass. Also eating them involves causing these great creatures mass amounts of pain and suffering before they die. It's best to just leave them alone and let them live their lives in peace.

I agree to a degree

But pigs and chickens are probably much worse morally to eat. Given their entire lives can be hellish. And a majority of people eat those.

Eating an animal that lived a natural life before being harvested seems less cruel to me.

I am sharing my thoughts, not claiming I am "right" or settled on this issue.

Yes. If I outwit octopus 1:1 that would be OK.
