Stop octopus factory farming in NZ
Write to government Ministers
Andrew Hoggard and Shane Jones

Octopuses are sentient wonders, with intelligence that rivals ours. They live generally solitary, complex lives that don’t belong in tanks, pens or concrete farms.
Despite this, one million dollars of taxpayer money, via the government's Endeavour Fund, has already been spent in researching how to confine these 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! Please urge Minister for Fisheries, Hon. Shane Jones and Associate Minister for Agriculture (Animal Welfare) Hon. Andrew Hoggard to halt any further funding of octopus farming projects, and to reject any further advancement of octopus farming in New Zealand.
