PACMA animal welfare advocacy and legal challenges

Overview

The Animalist Party with the Environment (PACMA) has launched several initiatives to challenge animal captivity and industrial breeding practices.

In Moaña, the party has demanded that the Xunta de Galicia investigate an octopus breeding project by Octolarvae. PACMA cited concerns regarding animal welfare and environmental risks, noting technical documentation that shows high mortality rates for larvae and potential biological threats to protected areas like the Enseada de San Simón.

Separately, PACMA is working to block the transfer of two orcas, Wikie and Keijo, from Marineland in France to Loro Parque in Spain. The party argues the move perpetuates captivity rather than providing rescue. To prevent the transfer, PACMA is seeking intervention from European Parliament members and calling on the Spanish government to establish a marine sanctuary in European waters.
