Dorset Wildlife Trust offset Cuttlefish Nommers

Seriously, cuttlefish are adorable creatures. I can’t fathom how anyone would want to nom them to the point that their numbers start dwindling? Is the term cuttlefish genocide too harsh? Nah, I didn’t think so either.
Genocide or not, the Dorset Wildlife Trust is attempting to reverse this decline in cuttlefish numbers by setting up a surburb of cuttlefish houses along the seabed in Kimmeridge Bay. Think of it as a first home owners grant for our beloved Cubblefish.
Whether the new housing commission venture will work remains to be seen. But given how smart cuttlefish are, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve already sensed it as a trap by those pesky humans and are sharpening their pointy sticks preparing their attack.
