There are people out there who believe that eating octopus flesh is going to be the next big thing, and they want to build industrial octopus farms to fulfill what they believe will be a future need. It turns out that the state legislatures of California aren't into the idea of mistreated eight-legged slaves, so there won't be any octopus farms there. Washington State banned octopus farm earlier this summer. Hopefully, octopus farming will never be a thing in the US.
