SQUID

Now this article is a bit bittersweet for me. I LOVE squid. I grew up watching my very Italian father tearing apart raw squid in our sink, battering it with delicious spices and fryin' it up for my eagerly awaiting mouth... Calamari is a welcomed food in our home. Simultaneously I felt a pang of guilt and sadness seeing the picture of this beautiful, enormous squid getting slaughtered aboard a fishing vessel. At least he was almost dead upon arrival, and was taken to a research institute providing education and such. Colossal beings do exist and should remain in existence, not filtered via nets, from decimated forests, and pillaging land (buffalo). I wish they were just let to 'be'.
