Harming animals harms us. 💔🤒
Globally, antibiotics are often misused to compensate for questionable farming methods, contributing to the rise of superbugs.
We must move away from intensive and stress-inducing forms of farming.
🐙 RAISE YOUR TENTACLES! 🐙
At 1:27 AM this morning — as the very last bill on the agenda — the New York State Assembly passed A.8043C, our legislation to prohibit octopus farming, with an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 129–13! 🍾
This victory brings New York one step closer to protecting octopuses from the cruelty of industrial farming before this industry ever takes hold here.
A huge thank you to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie for bringing this bill to a vote and our incredible Assembly sponsor @tonysimone for championing this legislation.
The bill now heads to @GovKathyHochul’s desk to be signed into law. Stay tuned — we’ll be sharing how you can help make sure New York gets this across the finish line.
But today, we celebrate. For the octopuses. 🐙

Once released into the air, ammonia reacts with other pollutants to form fine particulate matter - one of the most dangerous forms of air pollution.⚠️
Take action to stop the spread of factory farming & cut ammonia emissions: https://t.co/zvNQUab1w7
To meet @Ed_Miliband's Carbon Budget pledges @DefraGovUK must halt the expansion of industrial animal production.
We need to move towards nature-friendly farming and eat less meat and more plants.

A new study finds human disease that originates in farmed shrimp
“When it comes to our food system, we are keeping animals like fish, cows, pigs & chickens “in cramped, unsanitary conditions so that once a pathogen does get introduced to the population, it can spread really quickly and that gives it a chance to mutate, potentially becoming more dangerous if it were to then infect people.”

"As a GP, I see firsthand the toll that air pollution takes on people’s health – and ammonia from intensive farming is a major, yet often overlooked, part of that problem"

STOP OCTOPUS FARMING
@PescanovaCorp want to build the world’s first octopus farm in the Canary Islands.
But we have a chance to stop it - by asking the port authority to close the application.
