An even MORE compassionate Thanksgiving!

Go above and beyond eating vegan this Thanksgiving, and Adopt a Turkey from Farm Sanctuary at http://adoptaturkey.org/! Much like adopting a poor child from a Third World Country, Farm Sanctuary allows you to spend $30.00 to sponsor one turkey, or $180.00 to sponsor an entire flock. You'll get a picture and information about your personal sponsored turkey.

As a former Farm Sanctuary intern, I am behind this organization 100%! Gene Baur and Lorrie Houston started this Sanctuary in the 80s, and it has turned into the nation's largest farm animal sanctuary, with one location in Upstate New York, and the other in Northern California. If you can visit or volunteer (or even intern!) at one of these locations, get your ass in gear! You won't be sorry when you're petting the soft undercoat of a turkey or feeding rotting fruit to a hungry pig (or getting mounted by a male sheep, if you're lucky like me!).

Farm Sanctuary even has a Celebration for the Turkeys, where you can feed vegan treats to the turkeys for Thanksgiving, rather than eating them! This event includes a fantastic line-up of animal rights speakers, a silent auction, shelter time to hang with the rescued animal ambassadors, and a vegan feast!
