That's why scientists are outraged by plans for the world's first octopus farm in Spain, where a MILLION of these mostly solitary creatures will be crammed every year into tiny tanks, then killed painfully by being frozen to death in icy vats to feed the restaurant market.
It's torture on an industrial scale.
But we can stop it. Plans for the farm have been submitted to local authorities – and a massive outcry can help stop it! Add your name now and Avaaz will deliver our voices to EU decision-makers demanding octopus farming is banned before it starts! | | | | | Commercial octopus farming has never been done before, and experts say it can't happen without inflicting untold suffering on one of Earth's most amazing creatures.
But that hasn't stopped a Spanish company, Nueva Pescanova, trying to build what amounts to an giant octopus torture chamber in the Canary Islands.
Now these amazing creatures need a voice – and we can be it. So let's build an astounding call from around the world, calling on Europe and governments everywhere to ban the horror octopus farming. | | | | The viral documentary My Octopus Teacher showed the whole world how aware and intelligent Octopuses are. And everywhere we look, evidence is pouring in that humanity shares the planet with animals and even plants that can feel far more than we ever imagined. Our community has stood up time and time again for the rights of other than human species – now we need to do it again.
In hope and determination,
Bert, Martyna, John, Christoph and the entire team at Avaaz | | | | | | |
