At Farm Sanctuary, we celebrate turkeys for who they are: sentient individuals, not products. Sadly, 46 million of these birds are killed each year for Thanksgiving—and as deadly bird flu continues to spread, turkeys need us more than ever. That means we need you.
The sad reality is that turkeys and other farm animals suffer egregious cruelty in the factory farm system. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Through our Adopt a Turkey Project, launched as Farm Sanctuary was founded nearly 40 years ago, we encourage kindhearted people like you to make compassion the centerpiece of your holiday by “adopting” a turkey instead of eating one. This year, I hope you will support our vital work to rescue animals in desperate need, educate consumers about the realities of our food system, and advocate for an end to factory farming.
Our country is facing an important election in just a few days, and you can also “vote” by sponsoring the turkey that most closely aligns with your personality and values!
Meet the spokesturkeys YOU can symbolically adopt this year! Which one speaks to you?
John, as we fight the harms of animal agriculture, the choice you make right now will support the care of our rescued residents and strengthen our work for a kinder future.
I hope you will take a bird under your wing and adopt one of our spokesturkeys today!
