<P>Alexey,</P>
<P>The world is on the brink of an animal welfare disaster.
<STRONG>Confidential documents have revealed plans to build the
world's first octopus farm</STRONG> in Spain's Canary Islands, with
an alarming capacity to raise and kill about a million octopuses
annually for food. <STRONG>It's been called "a symbol of what
humans shouldn't be doing."</STRONG></P>
<P>Octopuses are solitary animals used to the dark, yet under these
plans, they would be kept in communal tanks, sometimes under
constant light. <STRONG>They would be killed by being placed in
containers of water kept at freezing temperatures</STRONG>, a method
described as "cruel" by scientists. </P>
<P><STRONG>The proposed development of the world's first octopus
farm by the company Nueva Pescanova, as it emerges from bankruptcy,
underscores the company's susceptibility to market forces and
consumer demand. </STRONG>And that's how, together, we can stop
it. By targeting the market for farmed octopuses, we can exert
significant economic pressure that could halt the development of
this farm and deter others from attempting similar ventures.</P>
<P><A style="COLOR: #00abbd; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"
href="https://act.sumofus.org/go/666220?t=2&akid=124525%2E15527478%2E71t2R9"
target=_blank>Demand governments worldwide ban the sale of products
derived from farmed octopuses!</A></P>
<P><STRONG>If the sale and import of products derived from farmed
octopuses are banned, it would effectively kill the market for such
products. Without a market, the financial incentive to farm
octopuses disappears.</STRONG></P>
<P>Governments play a critical role in this. By banning the import
of products from octopus farms, they can wipe out this burgeoning
industry at its inception. <STRONG>This is not just a measure to
stop one farm, but to set a precedent that protects octopuses and
deters any future attempts to farm these intelligent, sentient
beings.</STRONG></P>
<P>And if we fail to act in this moment: we could be on the
precipice of a slippery slope to octopus torture farms across the
globe. So we must act now -- before it's too late.</P>

target=_blank>This is an urgent call to action: to save octopuses,
we must starve the market, and our governments must lead the way.
Will you join us?</A></P><IMG alt=""
