This Thanksgiving, we all have an opportunity to make a difference. Instead of choosing to contribute to more cruelty, suffering, and environmental catastrophe, we could be choosing to live our best lives — by saving others' lives. That's why I'm asking each one of you to pledge to celebrate Thanksgiving the compassionate way this year. Will you join me in having a *vegan* Thanksgiving?
Turkeys typically served on Thanksgiving tables suffer unspeakably on their way to your dinner plate. Their throats are cut, their beaks are chopped off, they are forced to eat their own feces, and many peck each other to death. Then roughly 46 million turkeys will lose their lives for this celebration season. But we don't have to contribute to that massacre this time around.
Animals belong as our friends, companions, and freely-living creatures. They don't belong chopped up and gutted on our dinner tables. Save an animal, and save the planet. Have a happy vegan Thanksgiving, everyone! Please sign the petition to show that you're pledging to go vegan for this festive meal, too.
Sign and SHARE so your friends and family can celebrate your compassion!
