I write with grave concern regarding the emergence of factory octopus farms planning experiments on octopus breeding, confinement and slaughter using ice baths at -3 degrees Celsius. Immediate action is vital to prevent these farms from considering Hawaii, as nonindigenous octopus could escape, posing a threat to our biodiversity. The additional waste generated would exacerbate damage to our already suffering coral reefs. It’s crucial to understand that such farming doesn’t address hunger but caters to high-end consumption. I urge authorities to swiftly ban these practices in Hawaii, prioritizing environmental preservation over short-term gains. DON'T MISS OUT ON WHAT'S HAPPENING!
