In natural conditions, baby turkeys stay with their mothers for up to five months, but turkeys on commercial farms never experience the safety or warmth of the nurturing presence they instinctively long for. Instead, they endure confinement, crowding, disease, neglect, abuse, and a short life of intense suffering that ends in a death that can only be described as brutal.

Between 250 and 300 million turkeys are raised for slaughter every year in the U.S. – with more than 46 million being slaughtered for Thanksgiving meals alone.

And yet, there is some Good News to be shared:
YOU have the power to help stop this despicable cruelty.

You see, the law of supply & demand is alive & well in the United States (indeed, all over the world), which means that for every turkey you refuse to buy this holiday season, one less turkey will be raised for slaughter the following season. Large corporations and small farmers are only engaging in these primitive & unethical practices because we are paying them to do so. If we stop doing so, they will too.

Please consider this with humility …
… and PLEASE act on this with Courage.
