PETA is demanding Paul the Octopus, who has shot to worldwidefame by predicting World Cup winners, freed after hisslave labor services::BERLIN (AFP) – An octopus in Germany who has shot to fame by correctly predicting the outcome of the country’s World Cup matches should be set free, an animal rights group said on Friday.It is probably a moot point now that paul failed in his prediction that Germany would defeat Spain. He is on the verge of becoming calamari, I suspect.
“Paul has forecast that Germany will beat Argentina. In order that Paul too can celebrate on Saturday, and not just football fans, PETA Germany … is now asking for him to be set free.”
But I am also sure PETA has a point. After all that soft living in his comfy aquarium, Paul is bound to flourish in the harsh ocean, fending for himself and dodging larger predators. What could go wrong?
