Happy Holidays? Not for Turkeys!

This year, more than 45 million turkeys will have their beaks and toes cut off without pain killers and their throats slit while they are still conscious—all so that they can become part of someone’s Thanksgiving dinner. Those who miss the automated knife will go into the scalding tank fully conscious and will be boiled alive.

It’s ironic that on a day when we are supposed to be celebrating the good things in life, most Americans sit down to eat dead birds who never saw the light of day or took a breath of fresh air until they were loaded onto crowded trucks to be taken to slaughter. Before they became part of someone’s Thanksgiving “celebration,” these often-crippled birds lived in chronic pain and endured cruel and painful deaths. On factory farms, thousands of turkeys are packed into warehouses where they are commonly smothered and often suffer from disease and heart attacks. There’s no better time to choose compassion by going vegetarian. Let’s make this Thanksgiving one for the birds.

Spread the Word!
Most people are horrified when they learn how animals are treated on factory farms and in slaughterhouses. By sharing this information and encouraging others to adopt a vegetarian diet, you can make a real difference in the lives of animals.

Thank you so much, and I urge you to not eat turkey this Thanksgiving and be a voice for the voiceless. Give turkeys something to be thankful for. Only you can make that difference! Please tell everyone you know! The more people who are educated, the less turkeys lead lives of slavery and torture. Cherish the gift of life!

Peace and Love,

Mitch
