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...

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.
