Turkeys are one of the most misunderstood and mistreated birds in the world. They are hunted and factory farmed and ridiculed. They are the satirized icon of the American Thanksgiving table.
I will explain who turkeys really are as opposed to how they are portrayed by exploiters and clichéd media. I will show that turkeys are intelligent and emotional birds whose natural intelligence is alive and well despite the abuses of domestication that they have endured.
Having written a book about the turkey “in history, myth, ritual, and reality” and having known several turkeys both male and female in our sanctuary, I believe I can speak thoughtfully with knowledge and care on their behalf. ‑ Karen Davis
