URGENT: We need to shut down the largest octopus farm ever before it's too
late.

We're about to protest in the streets of Madrid, but we need more
signatures to save the octopuses.

John,

Octopuses are solitary animals that need to move freely. Living in
captivity in an extremely small space with millions of other animals is
not species-appropriate and leads to a slow and agonising death.

The increasing demand for octopus meat is promoting the cruel breeding of
this highly intelligent animal. If octopus farms are allowed to
proliferate, millions of these sensitive creatures will be crammed into
tiny aquariums until they die miserably from stress or are killed,
painfully, by icy water.

But there's hope: we just helped get the Oppose Cruelty to Octopuses
(OCTO) ACT to pass in the California Legislature! 

Now we can take this ban to the whole world, starting with Spain where a
GIGANTIC farm is being built. We don't have much time, add your name now:

If we join our names together and sign this petition, we can build on our
win in California, and stop Spain from becoming the first country in the
world to build a commercial octopus farm. On October 5, we will stage a
demonstration in front of the Spanish Congress in Madrid, and demand that
the Spanish government deny Nueva Pescanova permits to build its cruel
octopus farm.

We will also press the Spanish government to pass legislation to prohibit
octopus farming more broadly. We’ll be on the street, and conducting a
press conference, with a strong coalition of groups working to protect
public health and to end animal cruelty. Let's make this huge -- sign and
share our petition to stop octopus farming!

We’ve made strides in California, and we can do it in Spain. We’re already
over half a million strong. Let’s flex our collective power for good.

farm!
