Plans to build the world's first octopus factory farm have been withdrawn.
Nueva Pescanova planned to confine one million octopuses a year at a facility in the Canary Islands -- packing these solitary, territorial animals at up to fifteen per cubic meter of tank.
They then planned to kill them by submerging them in ice water -- a painful, stressful, slow death.
They pitched the farm as "sustainable" because it would "reduce pressure on fishing grounds." But it would have required catching millions of fish to feed the octopuses.
Animal advocates have stopped this. Now we need to make sure no octopus factory farm gets built anywhere else in the world.

It’s time to make the oil industry pay for the damage they’ve done as we put them out of business FOR GOOD!

I’m tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Healthy forests matter. Thriving oceans matter. Wildlife matters. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable planet for future generations shouldn’t be controversial.
I genuinely think the standard workday should be 10 a.m.–3 p.m. or 9 a.m.–2 p.m. There’s no reason people should spend the majority of their lives at work. Let people get home with enough time to be with their families, partners, and friends, pursue hobbies, and actually rest. A lot of today’s burnout and unhappiness comes from the fact that work consumes almost all of our waking hours.
My therapist dropped a gem: you can't spend your life avoiding heartbreak or bad things from happening. You have to condition yourself to have appropriate emotional responses but learn to keep moving forward.
Most remember Sam Neill's past acting roles and films, but many don't realize he was in recent years posting hilarious gems on his instagram account, often poking fun at JURASSIC PARK 😂 absolute legend with a great sense of humor
