This isn’t progress, don't be fooled. It’s a huge step backwards.

One of Galicia's traditional dishes is octopus, and with their population decreasing due to overfishing, this is the only solution they came up with. Remember that if there isn't demand, there won't be any market.

Galicia's government has just approved an experimental octopus farm, backed by seafood giant Profand. 

Framed as "scientific innovation" this project paves the way for the large scale industrial farming of one of the ocean's most intelligent and emotionally complex animals.

Octopuses are solitary beings - they don't live in colonies. Forcing them into crowded tanks causes extreme stress, suffering, and often aggression. 

They solve puzzles, use tools, and feel pain. Locking them into tanks for profit is not innovation - it's torture and exploitation.

Meanwhile, countries like the U.S., Canada, and even Spain's canary islands are moving to ban octopus farming. 

Galicia is moving backwards.

Help to Stop Octopus Farming

I have narrated a beautiful and powerful animation about #OctopusFarming with my #PlantBasedTreaty friends.

Inspired by #Greenpeace 's A Monster in My Kitchen, Plant Based Treaty's talented animator #HoshimiSakai shows us the frightening reality of the millions of #octopuses destined to suffer if the multinational corporation #Pescanova is granted a permit to build the world's first octopus #FactoryFarm.

Legislation was introduced by Senators #Whitehouse and #Murkowski that would ban commercial #OctopusFarming in the United States!

This bi-partisan bill would also ban imports of farmed #octopuses, ensuring the US is not complicit in cruel octopus factory farming. πŸ™ 🌊

@nephatrine @theappletree

you're completely right and it breaks my heart. Especially now that the Chinese are building multiple stories slaughterhouses for pigs. Animal agriculture apart from its cruelty and horror takes an immense toll on the environment. #OctopusFarming is a new thing starting now, that's why there are all the protests and posts around. In my opinion it's absolutely mandatory to #EndAnimalAg

#octopusfarming #petition Octopus farming should definitely be banned, and the more people who share and sign this petition the better. The way we treat animals is absolutely disgusting.

On this #WorldDayfortheEndofFishing, groups across the globe are rallying together to #StopOctopusFarming. Demonstrations are being held near Spanish embassies and restaurants that serve #octopus dishes.

Spanish company #NuevaPescanova has invested €65 million to build the world's first commercial octopus farm in Gran Canaria. Another Spanish seafood company is also entering the race to develop #OctopusFarming.

#OctopusFarming: critics say plans are unethical for β€˜exceptionally intelligent animal’. #Octopuses are complex, intelligent creatures: they can change the colour and texture of their skin, disguise themselves, and use tools. We must protect them. πŸŒŠπŸ™

Can we learn from #FactoryFarms on land to prevent #OctopusFarming ?

This petition is a call to action for the #Spanish and European population to ban the breeding of octopuses in farms in Europe, a practice unnecessarily cruel and unsustainable. Let’s prevent the first #octopuses from being raised as a food! And thus avoid the environmental and ethical disaster that would result from it.

The #Spanish company #NuevaPescanova is planning to build the world's first commercial octopus farm in #GranCanaria .

This octopus farm would lead to a million octopuses being killed for food each year (3,000 tonnes according to the company).

Our #oceans are in crisis. #OctopusFarming is as unsustainable as it is inhumane.
