As cephalopods become more important in neuroscience and other fields, scientists and welfare advocates seek to give the smart animals the same protections as mice and monkeys.
Questions surround rescue of young sailors from Santa Cruz Harbor
KTVU s Jesse Gary reports.
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - The Santa Cruz Harbor Master has launched a formal investigation following the Sunday rescue of a dozen novice sailors from large ocean swells.
Witnesses agonized for what seemed an eternity as the forecast swells flipped a dozen young yachters into the frigid waters of Santa Cruz Harbor at about 4:30 pm. We saw them out in the water in the first place. And we have no why they were even out there, said witness Jenny Umstead.
She and others said a dozen novice yachters tried to re-enter the harbor during a sailing lesson in low tide and large swells.
