If you’ve ever had the great privilege of meeting a turkey, then you know these sweet, intelligent birds deserve to be the LIFE of any Thanksgiving gathering. Yet sadly, more than 46 million turkeys will have their beaks and toes painfully amputated this year so that they can be packed by the thousands into dark, filthy warehouses on factory farms. That’s why Farm Sanctuary is proud to announce our coast-to-coast Celebrations FOR the Turkeys!
Highlights of the Celebrations include:
* NYC Celebration – Hip-hop mogul and Def Jam Founder RUSSELL SIMMONS will host a sumptuous vegan gourmet brunch at New York City’s landmark Tavern on the Green, featuring a special reading by JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER (Everything Is Illuminated) from his red-hot new book “Eating Animals.”
* Glen, NY Celebration – In addition to a vegan feast and the wildly popular “Feeding of the Turkeys” ceremony, guests will enjoy special presentations from distinguished animal rights philosopher TOM REGAN, recently named “One of Fifty Visionaries Who are Changing Your Life” by Utne Reader magazine, and Farm Sanctuary Executive Director DR. ALLAN KORNBERG.
* Orland, CA Celebration – Actress/advocate DANIELA SEA from “The L Word” will host a compassionate Thanksgiving celebration replete with a candlelit gourmet vegan dinner, a “Feeding of the Turkeys” ceremony and a performance by punk rock pioneer JONATHAN RICHMAN.
Folks travel from far and wide to attend these festive, compassionate Thanksgiving celebrations. we hope you can help us spread the word!

How we are trying to make this event "green":
Inevitably, intensive animal agriculture depletes valuable natural resources. Instead of being eaten by people, the vast majority of grain harvested in the U.S. is fed to farm animals. This wasteful and inefficient practice has forced agribusiness to exploit vast stretches of land. Forests, wetlands, and other natural ecosystems and wildlife habitats have been decimated and turned into crop and grazing land. Scarce fossil fuels, groundwater, and topsoil resources which took millenium to develop are now disappearing. More information at Farm Sanctuary's website, see Issues. |
