Take Action Together: Contact Restaurants

Octopuses are highly intelligent, sentient beings – yet they are still featured on many menus. This is exactly where you can make a tangible difference.

Restaurants respond to their customers. When enough people ask questions, many businesses reconsider what they offer.

Your voice makes a difference.

Take two minutes to contact restaurants in your area. Kindly ask them to remove octopus dishes from their menus. The more people who take part, the greater the impact.

Use the template below and get started right away:

Inquiry Regarding Octopus Dishes on Your Menu

Dear Sir or Madam,

I noticed that you offer octopus dishes on your menu and would like to kindly bring this to your attention.

Octopuses are demonstrably highly intelligent and sentient animals capable of experiencing pain, stress, and fear. At the same time, it is known that their captivity and, in particular, their killing are associated with significant suffering, and that there is currently no humane method of doing so. Further information can be found at http://www.sentientbeingsalliance.org.

In light of this, I would like to ask you to consider whether you could remove octopus dishes from your menu.

I would be very pleased if you would take a stand for a more conscious and responsible approach to animals.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

[Your Name]

🐙 Octopuses are not delicacies.

They are intelligent, curious, and capable of feeling pain. Yet they may soon be raised on an industrial scale — in small, sterile tanks with no opportunities to retreat or hide.

We must not let this happen.

Did you know?

🐙 Octopuses can:

– solve problems

– use tools

– remember people

– experience pain and stress

And yet, they may soon be raised in intensive farming systems.

This is neither ethical nor sustainable.

❌ Octopus farming is not the solution - it is a new problem.

It takes around 3 kg of wild-caught fish to produce 1 kg of octopus. That means more overfishing. More suffering. More destruction.

And all of this for a luxury product.
