Efforts Grow to Ban Octopus Farming Mexico recently joined three countries which have proposed a ban on the commercial octopus aquaculture industry.

Octopuses are intelligent, sentient, wild animals who suffer profoundly in captivity.

There is no valid justification for farming them.

🌊 Ocean pollution isn’t always visible.

Underwater noise from shipping and intensive aquaculture is increasing fast and affecting marine life.

The UN’s International Maritime Organisation is now proposing a study on how to reduce it.

The race to stop octopus farming before it starts A major seafood company wants to farm octopuses for their meat. Activists and academics say it’s impractical and cruel.

“We share this planet with the animals — all the animals — and our basic orientation should be, ‘Are we caring?’” - Jennifer Mather for @voxdotcom

One thing is clear, if we care, we should #StopOctopusFarming

We can't say it enough: octopuses are intelligent, fascinating, wild animals.

Plans to factory farm them are nothing short of barbaric. They must be stopped.

This #WorldFisheriesDay, we're highlighting the complete lack of sustainability with octopus farming. Nueva Pescanova's planned farm would require THOUSANDS of tonnes of wild-caught fish, stealing food from vulnerable communities.

We must #StopOctopusFarming.

CIWF Highlights The 'Growing Threat' Of Octopus Farming With New Report A report by Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) has highlighted the “growing threat” of octopus farming and all “carnivorous aquaculture"

Not only would it be incredibly cruel, but octopus farming would negatively impact already overexploited wild fish stocks.

Don't let anyone tell you that farming octopus would be sustainable.

Polpo su fondale scuro. Si legge: tre inquietanti scoperte del nostro report

Sardine morte ammassate. Si legge: 1. Il primo allevamento di polpi al mondo richiederebbe già all’avvio 28.000 tonnellate di pesce selvatico per produrre 3.000 tonnellate di carne di polpo.

Un banco di numerosi piccoli pesci selvatici che nuotano insieme. Si legge: 2. ciò equivarrebbe a due miliardi di pesci usati per produrre mangime, destinati ad arrivare all’impressionante numero di sette miliardi entro il 2040

Un pescatore rema su una piccola imbarcazione. Si legge: 3. Il mangime per i polpi verrebbe probabilmente prodotto sfruttando aree di pesca in Africa occidentale, Sud America e nel Sud-est asiatico. Ciò metterebbe a rischio i mezzi di sostentamento e la sicurezza alimentare di comunità costiere già vulnerabili.

🔎Il nostro nuovo report svela i rischi di espandere l’acquacoltura a ulteriori specie carnivore. Scopri di più ed entra in azione 👉 t.ly/keep-them-wild

Lawmakers push to ban controversial fishing practice to protect rare creature: 'We've broken an entire ecosystem' In an effort to keep up with international demand for octopus, a handful of companies have turned to farming the marine species in tanks.

"Farming wild animals is cruel, but especially with octopuses given their solitary nature and extremely high intelligence"
