Save a life this Thanksgiving by leaving turkey off your plate and adopting one through the ‘Adopt a Turkey’ project from nonprofits Peace 4 Animals, World Animal News (WAN), and Farm Sanctuary.
For just $35, you can sponsor a turkey that has been saved by Farm Sanctuary and housed at one of their Watkins Glen, N.Y., or Los Angeles locations. Or adopt an entire flock of turkeys for $150. Everyone who donates will receive an adoption certificate as a reminder that turkeys deserve a life free from cruelty and suffering.
“We began the ‘Save A Life This Thanksgiving, Adopt A Turkey’ billboard campaign after realizing that something needed to be done to raise awareness about the estimated 46 million turkeys who are killed in the United States for Thanksgiving alone each year,” Katie Cleary, Founder and President of Peace 4 Animals and WAN, said in a press release. “This campaign, in partnership with Farm Sanctuary, sends a clear message to choose compassion on your plate and change the way we’re conditioned to think about farm animals in this country; to actually make a connection to who we are eating.”
On cruel factory farms, innocent turkeys are crammed by the thousands into dark, warehouse-like spaces and slaughtered by high-speed machines while shackled upside-down by their feet. Those who aren’t killed instantly are thrown into a giant pot of boiling hot water and burned alive.

GO VEGAN!!!! IT’S THE BEST MOVE I EVER MADE 30 YEARS AGO!!!
Thanksgiving SHOULD BE A HAPPY DAY TO CELEBRATE ON BEHALF OF THE HARVEST. This murdering a poor bird and cooking and eating does not sound a happy celebration at all. IT IS A PLAN TO HAVE A BLOOD BATH & THEN IN A VERY COWARDIC & LAME WAY TO TELL THAT THEY ARE CELEBRATING THE HARVEST. This obviously might have started a by the backward people some ages ago (stone age)& in this modern era such massive Animal cruelty will never be acceptable & it’s pure Unethical.
These days many people are well educated & understand that eating dead animal carcasses is not the way to lead a Healthy clean life.
Sabe the life of the birds trash beast
I know many people who no longer eat turkey on Thanksgiving. However, what is disturbing is all the donations to needy families that include turkey giveaways – literally millions. I see no reason why they can’t be given wonderful vegan holiday packages and educated about this issues.
It’s time for plant-based diets to become mainstream and covid is certainly showing us that this is the way going forward.
Compassion tastes so much better. I’m sad to think that even when many knows about the horror of factory farms, they will dismiss their plea for pity and compassion to please their taste buds.
I can’t comment I’m so pissed off and disgusted if I comment the way I feel I’ll be banned for life
Eric, try to comment with your heart and soul not with your rage.
