2008 CA Celebration FOR the Turkeys
Originally uploaded by Farm Sanctuary

Hello there reader. This year, please consider making your Thanksgiving a compassionate one. You could sponsor a rescued turkey living at Farm Sanctuary, through their Adopt-a-Turkey Project. You could also sign this petition asking President Obama to pardon all turkeys this year - not just one.

Or, just don't eat a turkey, or any other animal who'd rather have a life and a family than fill someone's belly. Dairy and eggs come at a particularly terrible price of suffering (please educate yourself by clicking these links if you're not aware of the suffering and death caused by these industries). There are many delicious alternatives you can enjoy instead of animal products. For delicious recipes, visit FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement)'s Gentle Thanksgiving.

Thanks very much for reading this, and for all you do for animals. Every year I see more folks making compassionate decisions at holidays, and it gives me great hope for my friends of other species.

"We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace." - Albert Schweitzer, The Philosophy of Civilization
