Animal Rights Activists Fight Stop Opening Of Octopus Farm in Canary Islands
source
"get their arms around"… see what he did there.
Cows are gentle loving animals, but we still farm them for food. In Asian countries they farm dogs and cats for food. So what would be different about farming Octopus for food?
Anyone else just catch that PETA rep with a caged chamillione in her house all entrapped? looks a bit hypocritical for them to get upset about animals being in cages and she has one behind her CAGED!
😒 I can't stand these white people that always try to defend The stupidest things in life octopus rights it just makes no sense.😒😆🤣🤣
See this other video to see how the farms harm wildlife: These Fish Farms Are Infested With Sea Lice, Footage Shows
Can I have an interview with peta? All I have to do is telepathically relay all the thoughts an animal has before it is killed and after it is killed, I bet peta would say: "animals are different. Raise and eat them, they'll like it and you'll like it. It's a win win"
“Culture isn’t an excuse for cruelty” #slavery #jimcrow #redlining #ect.
What if they tell their wild counterparts telepathically, and they come after us?
That would be fitting.
MAYBE they should look at the overfishing done by China
They can't catch them in the ocean fairly? I spent many hours with them enclosed in aquariums. They're unhappy in the them even. You can sense it. You eat two grains combined to make protein in your gut. It's healthier but scientists won't test it because the beef industry is too powerful. Look how they went after Oprah.
We are descasting is a humans we are descasting .
She must be a vegetarian did she ever hear of a form
Okay that is ridiculous what's the difference between a octopus and a fish they have fish forms people they're just octopus and they're good just like fish or good Jesus said give me the baskets that were only three fish and two loaves of bread in Jesus blessed it
Hi chicken and cows are intelligent sentient beings and we slaughter millions a year while many (chickens esp) are cooped up in tiny areas they cant even walk in. Thoughts??
as with all Aquaculture its better than depleting natural stocks
Like a movie of return to Neverland Octopus in Movies wow
Its not necessary for human survival to have these farms, shut em down.
I really believe that octopus are smarter than we think. Like dolphin smart, are we going to start eating dolphin? Please tell me thats not already a thing.
Not to eat. Do not be complicit in cruelty.
Wait until their cousins make contact.
the octopus is in the 5 or 10 of the most intelligent animals on earth these "people" are clearly not even on the list at all
In Border areas across the Southern US rampant human migration from Latin America has consumed millions of acres of prime wilderness. My point is that exponential human population growth is wiping out animal and plant species at an alarming rate. In their panic to produce food, humans are turning to growing and then slaughtering many different animals. Have you ever seen cows or pigs or chickens killed for food processing?
Doesn't opening octopus farms actually help preserve the wild caught octopus population since people will shift to eating more farm octopus because it's cheaper? If you really want to to save octopus in general then you have to convince people to stop eating them, supplies and demand. If there is a demand for Octopus people will always find ways to to either farm or catch octopus.
Octopus are extremely intelligent. Capable or remembering different humans like dogs cats and dolphins. They shouldn't be eaten in my opinion.
But also I love to eat chickens so whatever.
How is this any different from factory farming of other animals?
