Stop Costco from Selling Octopuses!


Stop Costco from Selling Octopuses!
The Issue
Our friend from the deep sea deserves our respect and protection. Octopuses are incredibly intelligent life forms, possessing both short and long-term memory capacities, and displaying complex behaviors comparable to those of vertebrates. Their sophisticated intellect, confirmed by numerous studies, has led many scientists to argue that octopuses have consciousness.
Yet, these incredible creatures are routinely exploited for their meat. And Costco, one of the largest retail chains, is a significant contributor to this problem. Our fight is against not just the sale of octopuses, but the lack of respect for intelligent life forms and biodiversity in our oceans.
We are asking Costco, a company that has shown commitment to sustainable practices in other areas, to now take a stand for octopuses. We urge them to cease the sale of these intelligent beings and set a precedence for other multinational retail chains.
We have one simple demand: Stop selling octopuses at Costco. Join this fight. Stand up for octopuses and show respect for the diverse and intelligent life forms that are essential for our planet. It's time for us to do our part protecting them. Sign the petition today!
