The harms of eating animals have never been more apparent, as factory farming claims the lives of billions of animals, exploits workers including children, and fuels our climate crisis.
This Thanksgiving season, 46 million U.S. turkeys will be eaten. Do you see turkeys as sentient beings deserving of compassion and freedom? Are you opposed to the exploitation and slaughter of these remarkable birds?
I believe that turkeys are sentient beings who deserve compassion and freedom. I object to the exploitation of turkeys in our industrial food system, where they are treated as products and endure systematic abuse.
I acknowledge and express gratitude for the many people who bring nourishing food to my table, and I support a fair and sustainable food system for us ALL — animals, workers, communities, and our planet.
Therefore, I pledge to join Farm Sanctuary in leaving turkey off my holiday plate and celebrating with a vegan feast. This simple act makes an important statement, inspiring kindness in others who join me at the table, while advocating for the estimated 46 million turkeys who will be killed for this Thanksgiving.
