Okay, but maybe they deserve it? Hard for me to tell since I’m not an octopus

The males die shortly after mating.. it's hypothesized that the males may even offer their body as nutrition...as a way to maximize their offspring's success.

So this adds another layer of wtf.

Doesn't really help moralize human behavior though.

Naybe a way for sustainable farming?

Breed octopuses, take the dead males who succesfully bred, and offer their meat with zero harm to the animal.
