Canada: Ban octopus farming
Octopuses are incredible: They can solve problems, multitask and experience joy and fear. They also have three hearts! And just weeks ago, 950.000 Avaazers called for a ban of industrial octopus torture at a planned octopus farm in Spain.

Now Canada could enshrine the protection of these clever cephalopods before plans like those in Europe reach our country.

An official petition urging the Canadian government to proactively ban importing farmed octopus products as well as breeding them is closing in days, and Avaazers from all over Canada can make the call huge – add your voice now and share with friends and family.
