This baby cuttlefish (which is basically one of those blinking jelly toys you get out of a bowling alley arcade) has rights, too, and it’s important that we recognize cephalopods on Fish Amnesty Day if for no other reason than that they’re supposed to be pretty smart.

Cuttlefish, octopuses, squids, and nautlises are all people, too.
