      I was thinking the same, were they expecting / provoking that reaction just for the clicks? That’s my deduction of the person recording so clear without any try to help.

    That’s not an octopus, your mind can’t comprehend what’s going on so it just sees an octopus strangling him.

    I wouldn’t trust that diver anymore btw. He’s had contact too long. His mind isn’t his own.

      It’s like I almost want to write a poem about it, but I’m so bad at that. 😭

      Such a weird response. Unless you think the guy intended to kill the octopus

      Edit: perfect illustration of why the death penalty should be banned globally. People are dog shit at proportional responses. “This guy deserves death because he wanted a closer look at an animal and scared it. I will become angry if you challenge this idea.”. Take a look in the mirror people. Goddamn.

        The dude was trying to kill the octopus. Yeah, if you try to kill an animal you kinda deserve anyreaction it makes to defend itself.

        Would you be defending this dude if he was attacking another human? Of course not. I’m not even a vegan but it’s pretty easy to understand that if you fuck around, you will find out.

          Explain why you think this was intention to kill.

          Can you also explain why you’re such a binary thinker that you cannot imagine a middle ground between “kill him!!!” And “I’m defending him, he’s INNOCENT”?

            The spear in his hand and the strung up crabs directly next to him.

            Here lemme just break into your house, move you around a little bit. No big deal. We’re human, were allowed to do what ever we want right, and if an animal ever react to us, it’s their fault. Not ours.

            Not sure why it’s so hard for to to understand that if you fuck with an animal, then you deserve what ever happens next.

              The funny thing is that I didn’t see the spear but even seeing it, it seems obvious to me that there is still literally no evidence he tried to hurt the octopus. We did not see him even jab at it once.

              In any case I get why you didn’t answer my other question. Because you know you’re just looking to feel righteous by demonizing me, despite my making a good point.

              Even if there was proof positive he tried to kill an animal I’d think he’s an asshole but still not be cheering for his death like you psychopaths, who are clearly just looking for a person to direct your rage at.

                I didn’t answer your question because yes, in my brain, it’s a very binary decision.

                You fuck with an animal -> you deserve what happens next.

                You don’t think that way, you are currently right now defending the persons actions for clearly disturbing a distressed animal. Regardless of if the person intended to kill the animal or not, the creature was in distress, tried to get away, shot ink at the person, and the piece of shit continued to grab and hold onto it.

                I’m not the one cheering for his death either, if you go and read my comments, my position is explicitly “If you fuck with animals, you deserve what ever happens to you”.

                “Oh we don’t actually know the person was trying to harm the creature so that makes it okay” <— What the fuck is wrong with you?

                  Moron, “makes it okay” was never remotely mentioned. You’re a fucking idiot who cannot understand that anything could fall between extremes. Try not to wander into traffic and I’ll enjoy never hearing from you again.

          Obviously, but by this logic I’m allowed to kill any animal that I feel threatened by because they “deserved it”. They didn’t. And I am not.

            I mean the dude is inking, obviously the human knows he’s scared yet he continues. Imagine a giant grabs you and you’re screaming to be spared, if you were near its eye you would take the opportunity.

    Bullshit. An Octopus that size isn’t going to strangle anybody, and can’t really do much suction on a wetsuit, which has a porous fabric surface.

    Source: I spear fish, and have bagged 100’s of octopuses. The only danger from one that size is a bite, as they have a “parrot” beak, and very minor damage at most.

    I don’t fish them any more, BTW. I had one of those experiences of having one playing with me, and they suddenly moved into the same territory as dogs, cats, horses, etc. in my mind.

    Octopus sashimi is going to bring on some weird flashbacks for the rest of this diver’s life. Also, now they can’t get aroused unless they’re being choked out and sprayed with ink.
