Can't say I agree...the worst that happens is the animal dies and that's kind of awful to me.
The thing with octopuses is that if they're stressed they might ink and that's pretty much a disaster. I would stick to captive bred specimens and make sure you have everything prepared. The animal deserves at least that, you know?
