In O Carballino, Spain, workers process octopuses for global markets, but local supplies have dwindled significantly over the past decade. The factory now sources its octopuses from Mauritania and Morocco due to declining populations in Spain, exacerbated by climate change and increased demand. Some companies are exploring octopus farming as a solution, though this has faced backlash from animal welfare groups. Recent legislative actions in the US reflect growing concerns over octopus farming practices. While some argue for the potential benefits of farming, others warn it could lead to inhumane treatment of these intelligent creatures.
