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.

Inquiry Regarding Octopus Dishes on Your Menu
Dear Sir or Madam,
I noticed that you offer octopus dishes on your menu, and I would like to reach out with a personal request.
Octopuses are highly intelligent, sentient animals capable of experiencing pain, stress, and fear. Their captivity and, in particular, their slaughter raise serious animal welfare concerns. To date, no scientifically proven humane method of killing octopuses has been established.
I understand that many factors go into creating a restaurant menu. Nevertheless, I would kindly ask you to reconsider whether octopus dishes need to remain on your menu, or whether you might choose to stop serving them.
By removing these dishes, you could send an important message in support of a more responsible approach to sentient animals.
You can find further information at https://www.sentientbeingsalliance.org.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this request.
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.

Yes, but…?!
Not with us.
On the left, you’ll find an infographic showing the most common counterarguments — and why they don’t hold up.
Facts can easily refute almost all of these points, so don’t let a simple “Yes, but…” throw you off.
