Dear John,
Velma is an octopus who is being held captive at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay.
She is an amazing swimmer, fighter, hunter and so incredibly intelligent.
But she is denied a chance to express her full natural abilities because she is kept prisoner in an aquarium tank. On display for human entertainment.
Octopuses like Velma and so many others held captive in public aquariums are often cruelly taken from the wild. The trade in octopuses and other wild animals like sharks, rays and other fishes brutally removes individuals from their lives in the wild and ships them across the world to make money for private companies.
These are wild animals, not objects to trade. John, that is why at Freedom for Animals we are on a mission to end this cruel trade and keep animals wild and free. Will you help us?
