Scientists are outraged by plans for the worldβs first octopus farm, which would cram a million of these highly intelligent creatures into tiny tanks, and then kill them by freezing them to death. Plans for this giant octopus torture chamber have been submitted to local authorities in Spain β add your name calling for a ban on octopus farming!

tamiappleΒ Thanks so much for signing & reposting π (& please donβt worry if it wonβt repost on the app. App bugs happen & either way, I truly appreciate the effort.) I love the ease with which you can forward a petition started by Avaaz to friends & your community via email, too. Even my non-vegan friends (who are not on abillion) signed the petition & also took the next step & forwarded it to family. 2 likesReply
