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.

Seafood giant Nueva Pescanova plans to dump a million live octopuses a year into icy tanks, where they'll slowly and painfully freeze to death. Then sell them to supermarkets.

Our petition to stop this cruelty has ignited a firestorm on social media. It's gotten over half a million signatures, and a growing number of EU leaders are voicing their opposition. Nueva Pescanova is starting to feel the heat
