Please sign this petition to stop octopus farms!

Stop the world's first octopus farm - before it's too late

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the plans to establish the world's first octopus farm in Spain. As scientists and concerned

Why should you sign this?

This is happening in Spain, as these farm hurt these intelligent animals. Because octopuses are emotionally aware and are able of social interactions. But these farms are taking these sentient creatures captive and it is well known that octupuses suffer greatly in captivity - which causes extreme boredom, stress, diseases and depression. They are also a major part of marine ecosystems, and taking them from their home is straight up ruining the bio-life under the water.

These farms in Spain raise about a million octopuses annually for food. Octupuses are solitary animals (unless mating) that live in deep sea waters that has little light. In captivity, octopuses are tightly packed in together and are shunned with light.

Farms in Spain use a method called the 'ice slurry' - "Ice slurry killing is a method of euthanizing fish or octopuses by lowering their body temperature to cause anesthesia and death" says humane slaughter association

In other words, they give these animals less and less oxygen and either warm up the temperature and or lower the temperature (depends on the species) until they die. So a slow and painful death to these well aware animals.

"Large numbers of octopuses should never be kept together in close proximity. Doing this leads to stress, conflict and high mortality …"

Around 350,000 tons of octopus are caught every year. With only 500,000 tons are in the wild. So basically even though the population is growing in the wild in enormous rates, these farms will just take almost half of the population that's growing and slaughter these classified sentient mollusk*. Octupuses are caught 10 times more since the year 1950 that's been recorded.

What can I do to help?

Well of course sign the petition! So far they have 580,304 signatures but they need to get to until 750K signatures!! You can also donate if you can, the donations are from 5$ up to whatever you have! This will help ban these farms and save these animals. Reposting also helps a lot! It takes one click to help the marine biolife and inhumane Slaughter toward these beautiful octupuses

*(A mollusk is "any of a large phylum of invertebrate animals (as snails, clams, and octopuses) with a soft body lacking segments and usually enclosed in a shell containing calcium.." - Merriam-Webster)

BOOK REC

How to Break Up with Fast Fashion: A Guilt-Free Guide to Changing the Way You Shop - For Good

Lauren Bravo

hi, hello, just dropping in to 100% recommend this book to everyone because it is so good. 

non-fiction books are long and dense and hard to read, yes? NO. this is short and easy and bravo (10/10 surname) breaks it up into easy chunks, throwing statistics in with personal anecdotes and funky lists. If you’re looking for a place to start in your personal life with helping the environment, or just realised you have a shopping addiction or even if you just care about the environment this is the book for you!!!

lauren never makes anyone feel guilty for what they’ve done in the past or the relapses they might make in the future and i think that is a major flaw in so many environmental activists, they are so separated from what life can be like for normal people that they overlook the necessary transition period.

Advocate a simple, moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle

The average use time of a plastic bag may only be 25 minutes, but it will take at least 470 years to degrade it. The single-use plastics we manufacture and use are found in cities, oceans, and throughout nature. Actions no matter how big or small, together with Wang Yibo choose a green and low-carbon lifestyle, reduce single-use plastic pollution, and use actions to make the earth more lovely

This may take many sacrifices for you, but here are some ways that you can save the planet from Greenhouse gasses (when the suns radiation travels down to earth, it gets reflected off of the earths surface back into the atmosphere, then gets bounced back from the gasses we have emitted into the atmosphere) if you don’t believe humans are causing this, there is more than enough evidence to back this up. Since the industrial revolution, CO2 emissions have increased by 47% from power plants and meat production. Keep reading to find out how some small things you can do will help save earth;

Ride your bike more than you drive or ride in your car: If everyone rides a bike to their locations more than driving a car, around 11% of emissions per year can be reduced

Take cooler, shorter showers and turn off heat and lights when your not using them: It takes fire to heat up your shower, house, and power your light, fire is heat. The heat melts ice caps and glaciers. Why should you worry about ice caps and glaciers? The oceans rise a little bit with every drop of a melting form of ice, if the ice continues to melt from the heat of the earth, the oceans will overrun coastal cities and island, not just the small ones but big places too like Venice and Florida

Throw your trash in a trash bin and use more cardboard and glass products: Take a look at the oceans, 8 million tons of garbage are left floating in the oceans each year, more than half of the people in China

Eat less or no meat: If everyone ate on a more plant-base diet, the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere each year would be decreased by 80%. When cows burp and fart, it produces more CO2 than all other emission sources. The reason this would help is because the meat industries wouldn’t produce as much meat if less people ate it, therefore decreasing the CO2 levels. Not to mention that the room for agriculture, forests, and water would increase, being better for us and nature

Plant some trees: Trees are nature’s way of cleaning the most essential thing you need to live; oxygen. Without it there would be no hope for life. If every person planted one tree, imagine how much more clean air that would be for everyone and everything in this planet
