# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Stop Octopus Farming - A Wellington Petition Launch
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 28 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 28 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Until recently, their complex biological needs prevented octopuses from being farmed. But thanks to government-funded experiments and the University of Auckland, Aotearoa is on the cusp of a new, devastating form of factory farming - octopus farming. Also known as cephalopod aquaculture, this industry would not only hurt the octopuses captive in the farms, but risks harming marine ecosystems.

Join us for an evening at the centre of the fight to stop it, why it matters, and what we can still do about it. RSVP at https://events.humanitix.com/stop-octopus-farming-petition-launch

Whether you're a lifelong activist or someone who just clocked off work and cares about animals and our oceans, this one's for you. Sharp, urgent conversation and a room full of people who care.

Octopuses are some of the most intelligent, curious creatures on the planet. Research is happening and plans are being made about their future without most people even knowing it's happening. Come find out what's really going on, meet people doing something about it, and join a community dedicated to stopping it before it starts.

Speakers start at 6:15pm

Refreshments (finger food and non-alcoholic drinks) provided.

Entrance at 70 Victoria Street.
