A new #FactoryFarming nightmare is unfolding—#seafood giant #GrupoProfand just got the green light to experiment on baby octopuses in #Spain.
Their goal? Cracking the code on captive breeding to pave the way for the world’s first #OctopusFarm.
This new lab will experiment on baby #octopuses by manipulating their larval development—a critical hurdle that has prevented octopus farming from scaling up. 🐙

In the animation, the octopus's life is shown in two contrasting versions—one where she is stuck inside a tank in an #OctopusFarm and the other swimming happily and freely in the #oceans. In the end, the humans learn an important lesson from the octopus and realize that all life is one. The epilogue is a reference to #LeoTolstoy 's short story Esarhaddon, King of Assyria—a reminder that it is impossible to harm others without harming ourselves.

⌜Stop the world's first #OctopusFarm !!
A company in Spain has a plan to torture a million #octopuses per year – by raising them in crowded tanks and then killing them by putting them in icy water, which causes a slow, stressful death.
The company knows octopuses are highly intelligent and feel pleasure, pain, joy and fear, but this is their way of turning a huge profit. Now they’re being slammed by scientists and the media – and if enough of us add to the pressure right now we can stop them.
Sign the petition to the Spanish multinational #NuevaPescanova calling on them to stop their #octopus torture farm !⌟
