Stop Octopus Factory Farming Before It Begins—Support the OCTOPUS Act!

Support the Octopus Act of 2025!

Right now, you have a critical opportunity to protect some of the ocean’s most intelligent and sensitive animals by preventing the factory farming of octopuses. The Opposing the Cultivation and Trade of Octopus Produced Through Unethical Strategies (OCTOPUS) Act (S.1947) would prohibit commercial octopus farming in the U.S. and block imports of farmed octopuses from other countries.

Please contact your U.S. Senators today and ask them to cosponsor the OCTOPUS Act (S.1947). Be sure to personalize your message so it stands out!

Dear Legislator,

Message Body

As your constituent, I urge you to cosponsor and support the Opposing the Cultivation and Trade of Octopus Produced Through Unethical Strategies (OCTOPUS) Act (S.1947).

Octopus farming is inherently inhumane. Octopuses are intelligent, solitary animals whose cognitive and behavioral needs cannot be met in intensive farming environments. On commercial farms, they would suffer from crowding, stress, and aggression—conditions that lead to injury and high mortality.

These operations would also threaten our environment and public health. Waste and contaminants from aquaculture facilities can pollute waterways, damage fragile marine ecosystems, and endanger native species. The heavy use of antibiotics in factory farms fuels drug-resistant bacteria, and confining octopuses (who can carry pathogens like cholera) in industrial farms could heighten the risk of disease outbreaks.

The U.S. has a rare opportunity to proactively prevent this cruel and dangerous industry before it takes hold. Please cosponsor and support the OCTOPUS Act (S.1947) to avert needless suffering, safeguard our shared environment, and protect public health.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Signed,
