This is our chance to stop octopus farms before they begin.

Spain could make history with the world’s first full ban, but only if we
show massive global support.

Tell Spanish lawmakers: Vote YES on the proposal to ban octopus farms.

John,

BREAKING: Spain could become the first country in the world to ban octopus
factory farms — if we act now.

Octopuses are among the most intelligent and sensitive animals on
Earth. But seafood companies want to raise them in barren tanks and freeze
them alive, all for profit.

Lawmakers in Spain are considering a bold proposal to ban octopus farming
before it begins. If passed, it would stop the octopus farming industry in
its tracks. But we need massive public pressure to make it happen.

It sounds like a dystopian nightmare, but it’s real. Spanish seafood
giants plan to farm up to a million octopuses a year, freezing them alive
and carrying out gruesome experiments. One company, Grupo Profand, has
even opened a lab to experiment on baby octopuses in an attempt to crack
the code for industrial-scale production.

These aren’t isolated cases — they’re the beginning of a dangerous new
industry. And unless strong laws are passed these factory farms will keep
popping up.

Let’s show decision-makers in Spain that people from around the world are
calling for a ban on this cruelty. Can you sign and share this petition
with animal lovers everywhere?

When California banned octopus farms, our public pressure helped make it
happen. Now we have the chance to do it again and make history, and stop
this industry before it spreads.
