Dear
friends, |
|
Octopuses
are seriously smart. They can use tools and
solve complex problems, and even feel pain,
pleasure, joy and fear!
That’s
why scientists are outraged by
plans for the world’s first octopus farm in
Spain, which would see a MILLION of
these mostly solitary creatures crammed into
tiny tanks every year, then killed painfully by
being frozen alive in icy vats to feed the food
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
prevent this suffering! Add your name
now and Avaaz will deliver our voices to local
authorities and the EU demanding that 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 trying to build
what amounts to a giant octopus torture chamber
in the Canary Islands. Now there's hope --
the UK has recognised octopus and other
aquatic species as sentient beings, and the EU
is now reviewing its own
legislation.
These amazing
creatures need a voice – and we can be
it. So let’s build an astounding call
from around the world, pressure local
authorities to stop the farm, right before
regional elections and call 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 many times for the rights of fellow
species – now we need to do it again.
In
hope and determination,
Martyna, Bert,
Joanna, Nax, John, Christoph and the entire team
at Avaaz |
