Listing the octopus as part of the cast makes a lot of sense because she is literally the main protagonist of the film. Listing animals in cast of movies is not uncommon, as List_of_animals_in_film_and_television, and others eg. PATSY_Award shows.
I do agree with not listing the shark, as there were many sharks featured in the movie and they have lesser significance to the overall message of the movie.
Cephalopods are generally recognized as sentient creatures, and as such no different then cats en dogs and others animals.
Under EU law there is a specific mention on this (in particular on their treatment as lab-animals) eg.

Furthermore, this movie seems to be a direct influence to a petition where a humane treatment of cephalopods is requested to be inscribed in US-law.
I can't prove anything, but I also can't find any official source for that image beyond a lot of references to Twitter, and one single reference to 4chan (which also seems to be the oldest one Google's reverse image search knows about). And the account that added it has been removed. Also the style of the image (which looks like the cover of a romance novel) seems to feed into some recent controversy around this Documentary. As an non-subscriber I can't confirm it doesn't appear anywhere on NetFlix, which is why I am posting this here instead of changing it myself. NipokNek ( talk) 21:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
