Petition: Tell Lawmakers in California and Hawaii to Ban Octopus Farming

Washington state just took a major step forward to protect the intelligent, sensitive, wonderful creatures that are octopuses. Its legislators passed the world’s first-ever law to ban Octopus farming, which is fraught with cruelty and environmental hazards.

As the bill’s sponsor, state representative Strom Peterson, said: “Octopus farming leads to suffering and sickness for one of the more intelligent and feeling animals in our oceans. [It] is harmful to the animals and the environment and is unnecessary. It’s time to move on.”

Please sign this petition to demand lawmakers in California and Hawaii follow Washington’s incredible lead and ban octopus farming, too!
