It's a luxury to be understood! Understand the intelligent turkey! Rather than eating one, adopt a turkey at The Farm Sanctuary. Click here for general information. And the Los Angeles Farm Sanctuary Rescue.
What a great idea for a family promoting social responsibility and vegetarianism to their kids.
While I haven't eaten meat for several years after reading The China Study by Colin Campbell and The Food Revolution by John Robbins, (I recommend going meatless), I heard there's a shortage of turkeys for American's 2013 Thanksgiving dinners. Good.
I like the idea of helping turkeys instead of killing them. When you think about it, our Thanksgiving is the traditional celebration of the massacre of one way of life and people (Native Americans) for the hubris of another (Pilgrims) and using it as an excuse for family get-togethers.
The Adopt a Turkey Project, which gives people the opportunity to sponsor one of the rescued birds who reside at the group’s shelters in New York and California, has provided care for more than 1,000 rescued turkeys over the last 25 years. For a one-time donation of just $30, adopters receive a special adoption certificate complete with color photo and fun details about their new adopted turkey friend.
Turkeys are intelligent and social animals, who form lifelong bonds and possess unique abilities to communicate with one another. Caretakers at Farm Sanctuary know that real-life turkeys possess distinct personalities and exhibit a joy for life.
Among the adoptable turkeys are:
Minerva, an attention-loving turkey with a passion for sunflower seeds, who resides at the rescue group’s shelter near Los Angeles, and
Tulip, who lives at Farm Sanctuary’s New York Shelter; she is sensitive and kind to her flockmates and loves grapes and cranberries,
Tibbott, an outgoing guy who resides at Farm Sanctuary’s Northern California Shelter; he loves to meet new people and snack on lettuce and grapes.
“After more than 25 years of caring for rescued turkeys through our Adopt a Turkey Project, we’re delighted to team up with Reggie and Jake this Thanksgiving,” says Farm Sanctuary President and Co-founder Gene Baur. “We hope their amazing adventure will inspire even more people to adopt a turkey as part of their holiday tradition.”
