Octopus

seems man is doing fine
but wildlife in decline
octopus next in line

more of them now we eat
as a high protein treat
and they are easy meat

with this, man now engage
put creature in the cage
octopus farming age

this sentient being
shows it has much feeling
and caged be suffering

but some reject this claim
and go ahead with aim
for them tis profit game

All eight legs must work together to go together and get through the bars. When they all try for different exits, the poor octopus gets nowhere!

Thanks Kim. Ten octopus in cubic meter cage. An eighty leg tangle. Man's cruelty to creatures.
