В Великобритании подготовили поправку к закону о благополучии животных, согласно которой осьминоги, кальмары, крабы, омары и некоторые другие головоногие моллюски и ракообразные будут признаны разумными существами. Этот закон уже признает разумными существами всех позвоночных животных, запрещая жестокое обхождение с ними. У десятиногих ракообразных и головоногих моллюсков нет позвоночника, но имеется сложная центральная нервная система, что является одним из признаков разумности, говорят инициаторы изменений — британский Департамент окружающей среды, продовольствия и сельских районов, а также несколько министров. Для ясности в этом вопросе британское правительство заказало научную экспертизу. Специалисты из Лондонской школы экономики и политических наук (LSE) проанализировали 300 научных исследований относительно этих морских животных и пришли к выводу, что головоногих, таких как осьминоги, кальмары и каракатицы, и десятиногих (крабы, омары, раки и другие) следует рассматривать как разумных существ. Поправка не повлияет на рыболовство или другие отрасли, говорят в британском правительстве, но станет фундаментом для следующих законопроектов в сфере охраны животных.
