Settler anti-hunting groups in "canada" may do well to support this as a cause rather than some of the recent attempts to restrict Indigenous hunters on Indigenous territories.

An invertebrate is an animal without a backbone or spinal column. This includes a wide range of animals like insects, spiders, worms, octopuses, crabs, lobsters, shrimps, and squids. Many invertebrates display complex behaviors suggesting they are sentient, or capable of subjective experiences like pain and pleasure. However, there is still scientific debate about invertebrate sentience. We should give invertebrates the benefit of the doubt and aim to reduce any potential suffering they experience, given the vast numbers of these animals and the harm that could result if we incorrectly assume they are not sentient.
