Here are a few things that you can do to help save the Pacific Northwest tree octopus:
- Write your representatives to let them know that you are concerned and that you feel the tree octopus should be included on the Endangered Species List and given special protection.
- Help to build awareness of the tree octopus's plight by telling your friends and co-workers, and by placing a tenticle ribbon on your website.
- Join and donate to an organization commited to conservation.
- Boycott companies that use non-tree-octopus-safe wood harvesting practices.
I would like to know if these things are actually real or someone thought it would be a great idea to make it up. I say this because an octopus in a tree looks very unreal.

YOU may want the tree octopus to slither and slop in freedom in their little trees, but I for one wish every stinking one of them would rot in tree octopus hell. My grandmother was murdered by a tree octopus, as she tripped on its merciless dung (filthy beasts)which caused her to bash her head into its habitat. She died instantly. When my grandfather found her body, he wailed and cried uncontrollably until the tree octopus flung itself into his face. It suffocated poor grandpa, hushing his screams forever. May every one of these horrible monsters suffer as my family has.

I don't blame Tom McMahon for deleting your conversation either, it spammed his site up! Yes, you can stop giving each othes names out now. The tree octopus isn't real, it's something some people wanna believe it's up to them. It's a laugh, something for fun, so CHILL! Have a nice day :) lol
