No, an octopus doesn't belong in a tank in someone's house as a pet. It's a wild creature and irregardless of the hazards, it's just the circle of life. This dad is not teaching his kid to have respect for wild creatures, rather that it's okay to capture them and keep them as pets. If the kid's so enamored with them, take him to an aquarium, buy videos and books, support his interest but don't keep a creature in an unatural environment. It's cruel, plain and simple.

Sad Fact: The female octopus lays her eggs and dedicates the remainder of her life to protecting them. She stops eating, slowly starves, and once her offspring are ready to hatch, she dies. This self-sacrifice ensures the eggs are safe from predators, giving the next generation a chance to survive.

There were tubes, water, salt, fish food, slime, and the occasional dead fish. God bless parents who can allow thier children special hobbies and have the patience to wade through the trial and errors with them.

@@maurakay1917 - ah, I see. Let me refresh your memory - in your initial post, you said - and I quote - that "just because you love an animal doesn't mean you should own one, they belong in the wild." I pointed out that not all animals belong in the wild. Not quite sure why this enrages you, given that you've just said precisely the same thing. If you'd meant "non-pets", then you should have said "non-pets". The problem with that is that, by definition, any animal kept as a pet becomes a pet - including an octopus. So what you're objecting to - I suppose - is the keeping of non-traditional pets. Or something. Look, I too agree that it's probably a pretty lousy idea to keep an octopus in a small enclosure, but if you're going to argue that all animals belong in the wild you're going to raise some eyebrows. BTW - so what if hamsters don't exist in the wild in the US? Is that honestly what you're using as a benchmark here - if it doesn't exist in the wild in the US, it's okay to keep as a pet? Using that logic, it would be okay to keep an Asian species of octopus as a pet. Is that what you believe? I certainly don't. Hamsters DO exist in the wild in Syria - so is it only bad to keep them as pets there, and okay elsewhere? You need to give this a little more thought, I'd say.

If they give her a safe home/cave and toys to play with she is probably more than satisfied being the alpha predator in the world she has control over.

How do you know that's not what the kid wants to be I mean most Veterinary people who have become veterinarians have had pets I mean how old are you supposed to learn about something that you're really into unless you can actually experience it and learn and study and do the things you need to I mean it would have been more cost-effective probably but the lifelong experience and memories and bonding that he gets with his family and his father because of this I mean kind of outweighs everything else

They thought it was a boy for a long time, but the truth was the truth and it’s genetically a girl. No one is upset, they originally were mistaken by calling it something different than its DNA, it’s an octopus, they learned it was a girl when she gave birth. Their belief was proven wrong. They don’t seem to care so let’s not turn this common section to something it isn’t.

You are correct that after a male and female octopus mate it isn’t very long before the octopus parents both die. This process is called “deterioration.” Sadly, that’s the next lesson to be learned.

How do you know what this octopus wants. Maybe it's happy. I mean it's extremely safe. No predators to worry about. Didn't have to sacrifice it's life to protect its young.

Ай бұрын

Let’s go through it, if you have dogs, we you cage them. If you have a cat you cage them, maybe inside a house, but it’s a house sized cage the same. You cage them because you care, if you didn’t, they would run out and get run over or get eaten or taken by animal control. Also, dogs especially benefit from having their cage as their safe space at times. Silly argument all together is what I’m saying. The guy shouldn’t have an octopus, but caging can be caring, and the cage can be house sized.

If you’re interested in octopuses, read Shelby Van Pelt’s “Remarkably Bright Creatures”, and watch “My Octopus Teacher”. Dad should have encouraged his son to study marine biology, and leave the poor octopus in the ocean.

That little boy has such a passion for this, he actually cried when his dad said they were getting an octopus. We should all think that to our childhoods and think of that thing that we love so much and couldn't imagine not having or doing. Mine gymnastics. But I never had a threat of not getting it or being able to do that thankfully, so it's difficult to imagine a child having such strong feelings towards something.❤

​@@dopeasfruck They weren't smart enough to not get caught. So there's that. Not to mention, with the right stimuli, it could be happier in a tank vs. not. Also, if they hadn't caught it, it could have ended up something else's meal shortly after. So they might have done it a huge favor. You're worried about the happiness of an Octupus, but fail to see how happy this father has made his child. I think the Octopus is smarter than you are.

Wrong. In the wild the octopus would already be dead.

It's okay to say NO to your kids sometimes folks! There are practical things that we want, and then there are these things. An octopus for a pet in a residential home is not practical and this is why. Kids need to learn that some things are not practical to do no matter how much you want or like them. Get him a family membership to your local aquarium so that he can go study these creatures in a controlled environment that has the knowledge, and facilities to house them. He may grow up to be a marine scientist one day.

Is the fact that it’s trying to escape not a hint. Why don’t you release it into the sea instead of cruelly keeping it captive for your kids amusement?

Octopuses are very intelligent beings and should NOT be kept as a pet!!
