4:06Now PlayingA plan to build the world's first octopus farm has raised deep concerns among scientists over the welfare of the famously intelligent creatures.

They have never been intensively farmed and some scientists call the proposed icy water slaughtering method "cruel."
The Spanish multinational behind the plans denies the octopuses will suffer.
