The report reviews the scientific evidence on the biology and behaviour of octopuses | The report reviews the scientific evidence on the biology and behaviour of octopuses and argues that they are unsuitable for farming conditions. The report warns that octopuses are highly intelligent, sensitive, and solitary animals, who would suffer greatly from overcrowding, aggression, cannibalism, stress, and inhumane slaughter methods. The report also highlights the environmental impacts of octopus farming, such as the dependence on wild-caught fish for feed, the waste production, the greenhouse gas emissions, and the potential disease outbreaks. | ||
The report urges the Spanish authorities to reject the permission to build the octopus farm, and calls for a moratorium on any new developments of octopus farming. The report also recommends that the EU should not provide funding or support to any industrial octopus farming projects, and that consumers should avoid eating octopus products. | The report urges the Spanish authorities to reject the permission to build the octopus farm, and calls for a moratorium on any new developments of octopus farming.
