STOP THE WORLD'S FIRST OCTOPUS FARM

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.

Absolutely, this project must be halted. Apart from being repugnant from an animal-farming point of viewβ€”intense aqua farming is horrible at its bestβ€”octopoda are much too intelligent to subject to farming. I find the concept wholly morally disgusting. No, I'm not a vegetarian or vegan.
