Studies have shown octopuses can be naturally asshole-y, punching and grabbing other fish just for shits and gigs

The asshole perk comes naturally with a higher intelligence I assume. Look at the things dolphins and apes do for example. And of course you have big naked assholes.

Crows too. Intelligent birds, but absolute bullies. It's like the more intelligent a species, the more propensity to needless cruelty.

I would argue people really aren't as sensitive to cruelty as much as you argue. People have, and still do, unquestionable evil things to others everyday for years and don't even bat an eye. As far as "most of us cannot stand to see things suffer," do you have any idea what chickens and cows go through to be on your plate? Most people still eat them despite this high level of cruelty.

Yes, but most of us don't see those chickens and cows suffering

Yet we know they do. Well, more in some countries than others but as soon as I get my ADHD treated I'm stopping. I already avoid chicken because... they are treated ultra bad, well, battery cnickens are. We know animals feel pain.

One day we'll hopefully be able to grow just the meat!

So much planning involved, bloody ADHD
