To the President of the #CanaryIslands, the EU and governments everywhere:

We’re calling on you to reject the plan to build the world's first industrial octopus farm in #Spain and #BanOctopusFarming in the #EU and around the world, including its #import and #financing. Octopuses are intelligent, sentient and fascinating #animals. Let’s avoid creating more animal suffering for unsustainable and short-term human profit.

Octopuses Have Remarkably Similar Sleep Patterns to Humans–and May Even Dream

Researchers found that, like us, the octopus transitions between two sleep stages, a “quiet” stage and an “active” stage that resembles REM sleep in mammals.

Their arms and eyes twitch, their breathing rate quickens, and their skin flashes with vibrant colors—which has led scientists to conjecture that they may even be dreaming.

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.

Sign the petition to the Spanish multinational Nueva Pescanova calling on them to stop their octopus torture farm!

The world’s 1st octopus farm would cram a MILLION of these smart and sensitive creatures into tiny tanks before painfully freezing them to death – but a massive public outcry can help stop it. Sign and share now! #BanOctopusFarming https://fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/ban_octopus_farming_loc/?wOOLqcb

In der weltweit ersten Oktopus-Farm sollen MILLIONEN dieser intelligenten und sensiblen Geschöpfe in winzige Becken gezwängt und dann qualvoll eingefroren werden – aber noch können wir das verhindern.

In ’s werelds eerste intensieve octopuskwekerij zou een MILJOEN van deze slimme, gevoelige wezens in piepkleine aquariums worden gepropt om vervolgens een langzame en pijnlijke dood te sterven.

Il primo allevamento di polpi al mondo costringerebbe un MILIONE di queste creature intelligenti e sensibili in minuscole vasche prima di congelarle dolorosamente a morte. Un’enorme protesta pubblica può fermarlo. Firma e condividi ora! #BanOctopusFarming https://fb.avaaz.org/campaign/it/ban_octopus_farming_loc/?wJzAQsb
