Speak Up Now to Protect Octopuses in New York

NOTHING NEEDED HERE

Thanks to your support, we are making incredible progress. Our bill to ban octopus factory farming in New York has already successfully cleared several key committees in the Assembly—a massive sign of momentum. Now, we have a narrow window to ensure the Senate moves the bill forward before the legislative session ends.

This Wednesday May 20th, the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee is set to consider S7421A. Because you are a constituent of a key committee member, your voice carries the most weight in this fight.

Octopuses are highly intelligent, sentient, and solitary beings. In the wild, they roam large territories; in a commercial farm, they would face a lifetime of confinement and cruelty. By passing this bill, New York can join California and Washington as a leader in protecting these incredible animals from an unsustainable industry.
Your Senator needs to hear from you today. Can we count on you to take one minute to urge them to support this important bill?

Subject Please support S7421A

Message

I am writing as a constituent to ask that you please support S7421A, critical legislation to ensure commercial octopus farming never gains a foothold in New York.

The commercial farming of octopuses is unsustainable, environmentally destructive, and inhumane. It stands in direct contradiction to the values of our state — a leader in protecting our waters and addressing the urgent threats of pollution and climate change.

New York has a historic opportunity to lead the nation by stopping this cruel industry before it ever begins.

Please listen to the voices of your constituents and protect octopuses from cruelty by supporting S7421A.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
