2/ Dr Elena Lara, Senior Research and Policy Advisor at Compassion in World Farming, said: “After years of pressure, this is a huge victory for octopuses, our oceans and everyone who joined us in campaigning to stop the world's first octopus farm."

A photo of an octopus and a quote by doctor Elena Lara, Senior Research & Policy Advisor at Compassion in World Farming which says: Octopuses are intelligent, wild animals, not products to be caged in factory farms. The decision to abandon this project sends a powerful message that the future of food must not be built on animal suffering.
