I call bullshit: no sources, no interviews, just a couple paragraphs on a random cnn-soundalike clickbait farm.

I really don’t think that is the case. Here, I think, is an article about the work: https://phys.org/news/2021-12-octopus-crabs-lobsters-pain.am...

And that has a link to a paper: https://www.lse.ac.uk/News/News-Assets/PDFs/2021/Sentience-i...

Edit: but, you may be right; I cannot find any other source for this NZ news.

Look at the “related news” section, and tell me if something seems off.

Then find me a second news outfit reporting this.

NZ already recognized vertebrates like cows as such (Animal Welfare Amendment Act (No. 2) 2015); this is just formally expanding it into invertebrates.

I was thinking about the tons of meat exports which come from NZ. I suppose there must be some sort of legal framework established for the commercial dispatch of sentient non-humans?
