At Farm Sanctuary, we know turkeys are sentient individuals who deserve to be celebrated for who they are. Thanksgiving is a time to honor these curious and playful birds, not harm them.
Tragically, 46 million U.S. turkeys will be killed for the Thanksgiving season. Most of these birds are raised on factory farms and will never know an ounce of freedom. Not once will they walk on soft grass or see the sky. Instead, their brief lives of cruel confinement will end in fear and pain.
Through our Adopt a Turkey Project, we are changing how people see turkeys and inspiring kind people like you to help us change how they are treated.
With a one-time gift of $35, you can symbolically adopt one of our rescued turkeys, sponsoring their daily care and strengthening our ongoing rescue, education, and advocacy efforts.
Farm Sanctuary was founded in 1986, pioneering the concept of a sanctuary dedicated to farm animals. For 37 years, we have provided some of the most abused animals on Earth with a forever home where they can live free of exploitation and suffering.
Can we count on you? Together, we have the power to end the harm caused by animal agriculture.
Help us as we tend to the birds in our care — and change the fate of those still suffering in the grip of our food system. We will keep working towards the day when turkeys are no longer killed in the name of “celebration” — when slaughter is replaced with sanctuary. This year, you can help make that vision a reality.
