Their intelligence makes it difficult for me to eat octopus. I haven't given up on it completely, but I never feel quite right about it.
I was just thinking that. But then, I've eaten dogs and I've eaten pigs and I've had both as pets. I wouldn't willingly eat my dog (or dog in general, again) or my pig (and I abstained from pork for a whole month, just to be on the safe side) or I guess my octopus (if I ever own one, unlikely as that may be). But yeah, eating intelligent animals is uncool, though not as uncool as a lot of other "acceptable" human behaviors.
