Octopus factory farming must be stopped

Octopuses are sentient wonders, with intelligence that rivals ours. They live solitary, complex lives that don’t belong in tanks, pens or concrete farms.

Despite this, one million dollars of taxpayer money, via the Endeavour Fund, has already been spent in researching how to confine these solitary, sensitive beings in barren tanks and subject them to conditions where suffering is inevitable. Farming octopuses is not just cruel, it is environmentally unsustainable and a bad investment.

Your voice is urgently needed to stop this! The Endeavour Fund will announce in June what research projects will receive further funding.
