Eat’em, they are a good food source.
Growing up we had a rescue scotty, 1 cat which disappeared, and a borrowed compound Guard dog while living in SE Asia. After that and we returned stateside dad said nope, no more pets. I was a little pissed. But he was right. Got kids, no pets. There were better things to do than walk the kids dogs and empty cat boxes.
I’ve had a few dogs and cats afterwards but during life, and now I realize that at my age that although I would like to have a pet, it’s kind of nice not having a pet.
I have thought about volunteering at the local SPCA but all they have is pitbulls in there and I don’t really care for that breed.
Octopus was a mainstay of my grandfather’s seven fishes supper on Christmas Eve. Worked for him. Not me they remind me of squid which we used for bait!
