🐙 RAISE YOUR TENTACLES! 🐙
At 1:27 AM this morning — as the very last bill on the agenda — the New York State Assembly passed A.8043C, our legislation to prohibit octopus farming, with an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 129–13! 🍾
This victory brings New York one step closer to protecting octopuses from the cruelty of industrial farming before this industry ever takes hold here.
A huge thank you to Assembly Speaker for bringing this bill to a vote and our incredible Assembly sponsor for championing this legislation.
The bill now heads to ’s desk to be signed into law. Stay tuned — we’ll be sharing how you can help make sure New York gets this across the finish line.
But today, we celebrate. For the octopuses. 🐙
