Unacceptable. Public pressure DOES help, I really believe, and the octopuses deserve that from us. "The farm in Spain's Canary Islands would raise about a million octopuses annually for food, according to confidential documents seen by the BBC." https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-64814781 #octopus #cephalopod #Spain #animalwelfare #animalrights #plantbased #animals

Is there a petition? Octopus are highly intelligent, everything about this is awful.

Thank you, at least a petition may have some effect. Sentient animals should have protection in law. Accusations of anthropomorphism are just used as an excuse for cruelty. Many species are very intelligent sentient beings and we use them to help us, then other equally intelligent species we kill.
