Free Blotchy
After Inky the Octopus escaped from his tank in New Zealand, we think it is only fair that his 'cellmate,' Blotchy the Octopus, be released.
Why is this important?
In mid-April, 2016, Inky the Octopus masterfully escaped from his tank in the National Aquarium of New Zealand; however, another octopus, named Blotchy, stayed behind. As Inky's escape demonstrates, and as scientists have known for some time [http://www.nature.com/news/octopus-genome-holds-clues-to-uncanny-intelligence-1.18177], octopi are highly intelligent creatures. Our goal is to release Blotchy, and all octopi, one at a time.
