A female octopus will try to eat the male octopus, so the intelligence is not at empathy or morality levels.
But how it plays out, from humans where the male can provide more by continuing to live and "hunt/protect/teach"-- but at the risk that the "hunt/protect" might end his life, to spiders where (some species) the male gives his body to provide nutrition for the child,
well, who am I to say which is more moral?
So this adds another layer of wtf.
Doesn't really help moralize human behavior though.
Breed octopuses, take the dead males who succesfully bred, and offer their meat with zero harm to the animal.
As for the female octopus trying to eat the male octopus, did I ever tell ya the one about my ex wife? Huh? Huh? crickets
When “cooperative,” they are your best buddy.
When “competitive,” you are fresh meat.
And you can’t tell when they switch.
