Galicia's government has just approved an experimental octopus farm, backed by seafood giant Profand. Framed as "scientific innovation" this project paves the way for the large scale industrial farming of one of the ocean's most intelligent and emotionally complex animals. Octopuses are solitary beings - they don't live in colonies. Forcing them into crowded tanks causes extreme stress, suffering, and often aggression. They solve puzzles, use tools, and feel pain. Locking them into tanks for profit is not innovation - it's torture and exploitation. Meanwhile, countries like the U.S., Canada, and even Spain's canary islands are moving to ban octopus farming. Galicia is moving backwards.

This isn’t progress, don't be fooled. It’s a huge step backwards.
One of Galicia's traditional dishes is octopus, and with their population decreasing due to overfishing, this is the only solution they came up with. Remember that if there isn't demand, there won't be any market.
