PETA Australia statement after octopus escapes from aquarium
Statement from PETA Australia in relation to
Inky the octopus’ bold escape from New Zealand’s
National Aquarium. Attributed to Campaign Coordinator Claire
Fryer.
Life in a tank is no life at all for
sensitive, intelligent octopuses. Octopuses like Inky are
capable of complex thought processes, have long-term
memories, use tools, learn through observation and even have
the capacity to feel bored. We hope this bold escape sends a
message to the aquarium to keep its tentacles off octopuses
for good.
