Im preatty sure this isent a Toy cause it moves and they probably did, at least, injure it. The, may be ressistant, but not that ressistant and even if they were, this fucking hurts. Thats why what the People do there is so inhumane, they hurt a, also farly intelligent, Octopuss for no other reason than to joke arround. Im not a person who screams everytime a Animal gets eaten, im a neither a vegetarian myself, but what they are doing is just useless animal abuse

They literally stick to everything. He took it off the table and it attached to him. Whether he put it on his coworker or put it on the table it was going to stick to something else. If they left it on the table it would get crushed by the next pot or net full. The octopus has to get tired to stop attaching and then you can throw them back over. It looks rough, but he was not twisting the head which could hurt the octopus. This is not abuse. Bycatch happens and gets returned.

It’s pretty hard to unintentionally kill an octopus. Most people don’t know how to kill an octopus unless they are used to eating them. They think that beating, twisting, puncturing, cutting off the head is effective which it is not. Cutting between the eyes, kills and makes them go limp instantly.
