This is how #FactoryFarming starts. First, they figure out how to breed animals in captivity, then they scale up to mass production, locking intelligent, sentient creatures into a life of suffering for profit.

#GrupoProfand claims this is about “sustainability”—that farming octopuses will ease pressure on wild populations. But octopuses aren’t livestock. They’re sentient, intelligent creatures who use tools, solve puzzles, and even dream.

A new #FactoryFarming nightmare is unfolding—#seafood giant #GrupoProfand just got the green light to experiment on baby octopuses in #Spain.

Their goal? Cracking the code on captive breeding to pave the way for the world’s first #OctopusFarm.

This new lab will experiment on baby #octopuses by manipulating their larval development—a critical hurdle that has prevented octopus farming from scaling up.
