Octopus are highly intelligent creatures.not that ANY creature should suffer like this. This link has a video with some examples. Live octopus are apparently being served LIVE in some New York restaurants. Good grief! PETA is arguing that this practice violates New York's anti-cruelty laws. It's apparently a practice around the world.

The wolves suffer needlessly because hunters simply wound them more often then not firing from an airplane. Here is a video from Defenders of Wildlife that shows the method (it's under 3 minutes). Doing it from low flying aircraft, however, is just barbaric. This is what Palin has pushed for.
