World's first octopus farm proposals alarm scientists
5 hours ago
A plan to build the world's first octopus farm has raised deep concerns among scientists over the welfare of the famously intelligent creatures.
The farm in Spain's Canary Islands would raise about a million octopuses annually for food, according to confidential documents seen by the BBC.
They have never been intensively farmed and some scientists call the proposed icy water slaughtering method "cruel."
The Spanish multinational behind the plans denies the octopuses will suffer.
The confidential planning proposal documents from the company, Nueva Pescanova, were given to the BBC by the campaign organisation Eurogroup for Animals.

A vote for Trump, a third party candidate, or no vote at all, is a vote for a dystopian future.

To know is essentially the same as not knowing. The only thing that occurs is the rearrangement of atoms in your brain.

Interesting since I have not seen Key West have such beautiful water like this. Still prefer the West Coast since you can actually surf and you need to know how to swim there. It is nice for variety because even when the seaweed does not hit the South East Coast the water still looks like trash.
