I think there’s a pet derangement syndrome, whereby the person is obligated to take in any stray that comes their way.
How many people do you know who have ten cats or five dogs, and all strays.
Why not release the babies into the ocean?
Or flush them down the toilet?
Or eat them

Just plan a vacation at the beach and “Free Willy...and his siblings”.

I hear in Japan they love to eat Octopus. That is why I said he should sell them to a Japanese restaurant.

The story is almost another illustration of open borders.

The dad is stupid for getting a pet octopus and stupider for not knowing how to get rid of them

I’m not so sure what they are so up in arms about.

Cameron Clifford, a 36-year-old dentist, said his son Cal had been obsessed with octopuses since the age of three. Wow, it's like Cal Worthington and his dog Spot, only different.
If you want some better luck don't see Cal
If you'll embrace the suck, go see Cal... 🐙
Maybe not different. Cal even had an octopus (0:49) --
go see cal

For my brother’s 50th birthday party, he had it at a bar where for a dollar, you could play a machine and win a lobster. My niece was about 7 and all her uncles were giving her $1 bills to play. Of course she won one and wanted to take it home. The bar gave her dad a voucher for a lobster dinner. At first she wanted to keep it but thankfully she gave it up without a fight.

That’s why he should have purchased a puppy 🐶 or a kitten 🐱 instead.

That was on a sign at a campground we used last year. Pretty good.

Dump ‘em out on the driveway on a hot summer day. Then compost ‘em. Good for the garden.
